Nokia deploys 5G private wireless network for
Lufthansa Technik virtual inspection trial
attend servicing by providing seamless video access to the engine
overhaul shop floor.
Currently, its customers travel to Hamburg to carry out components
inspections when engines are overhauled, which means that they are
entirely disassembled and inspected in utmost detail. With the new
system, Lufthansa Technik will trial inspections of individual engine
parts collaboratively over a fast, high-definition video link.
N Soeren Stark, Lufthansa Technik Executive Board Member,
responsible for Technical Operations, Logistics and IT, said:
“Continuous innovation is part of our corporate DNA and this is what
drives us to constantly try out new approaches. The first application
cases already impressively demonstrate the valuable contribution 5G
technology can make to the aviation industry. It will also pave the
way for numerous new innovations at Lufthansa Technik that will
benefit our company, our employees and also our customers.”
Through Lufthansa Technik’s ‘Virtual Table Inspection’ proof of
concept project at its Hamburg facility, the hyperfast 5G private
wireless network will remove the need for customers to physically Kathrin Buvac, President of Nokia Enterprise, said: “This application
captures the essential value of fast, secure 5G private wireless
networking to help improve operational efficiency, productivity and
service. It highlights the potential for new ways of working that
benefit not only our customers, but also the markets they serve.”
okia and Lufthansa Technik, a leading provider of technical
aircraft services, have deployed a 5G industrial-grade private
wireless network to accelerate a project that enables remote engine
parts inspection for its civil aviation customers.

Nokia, Telenor and Telia create advanced shared
wireless network in Denmark
N
okia, along with leading operators,
Telenor, and Telia, have announced that
it has deployed the world’s most advanced
shared wireless network supporting a Multi-
Operator Core Network (MOCN) feature,
enabled for wireless technologies spanning
2G to 5G.
The 5G MOCN feature was deployed on a
trial network in Denmark and verified with
successful end-to-end test calls. MOCN,
the most advanced network architecture
model allowing for network sharing, enables
distinct mobile operators with their own
core network to share a common radio
access network infrastructure as well as
spectrum resources.
This is the first network to include live
MOCN capabilities for 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G
simultaneously. The live trial utilised Nokia’s
end-to-end 5G technology, including 5G RAN
and 5G cloud core.

Network sharing is an efficient and cost-
effective way for two or more mobile operators
to build and rollout a network at scale without
having to duplicate efforts. It is an important
strategic consideration for operators that
helps them to quickly deploy 5G networks
to consumers and businesses while keeping
costs to a minimum. As 5G networks require
a higher density of radio equipment, such as
small cells, to deliver the right performance
and coverage, network sharing results in
overall lower power consumption compared to
individual networks.
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks
at Nokia, said: “This trial highlights that
through network sharing, operators can
drive efficiencies, lower costs and bring the
myriad benefits of 5G to businesses and
consumers quickly.”
