Nokia, Telia and the Finnish Defence Forces have successfully pulled off a world-first: a seamless 5G standalone slice handover across multiple national mobile networks.
The groundbreaking trial, conducted in Finland using Nokia’ s 5G Core SaaS and AirScale tech on Telia’ s commercial network, kept a secure data connection alive as personnel moved between three countries. Nokia’ s MantaRay NM system provided crucial network oversight.
The milestone is a major leap for critical communications, particularly in defence, ensuring uninterrupted access to vital services and secure information flow for coalition forces operating across borders. The technology highlights the potential of 5G standalone architecture and network slicing for military and other mission-critical sectors like emergency services and logistics, offering reliable connectivity in complex environments.
