23 August 2021
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it has been
selected by A1 Telekom Austria Group (A1) to extend its 5G
footprint outside of Austria into Bulgaria, Serbia, and Slovenia.
The multi-country single vendor deal will see
Nokia provide 5G RAN solutions from its comprehensive AirScale
portfolio to all three markets and 5G Standalone core network to
Serbia and Slovenia. The deployment is already
underway in Bulgaria and is expected to start imminently in all
other markets.
Nokia is already providing comprehensive 5G coverage across
Austria and will evolve its strategic partnership with A1 with this
expanded deal. Nokia will provide equipment from its AirScale
portfolio including 5G RAN and other Nokia AirScale radio access
products which will deliver incredible speeds, connectivity, and
capacity to their subscribers.
Nokia’s cloud-native 5G Standalone Core software leverages
machine learning and artificial intelligence and will enable near
zero-touch automation capabilities for A1 in Serbia and Slovenia to
drive greater scale and reliability. Nokia’s open 5G Standalone
Core architecture will also give A1 the flexibility to be
responsive to market demands while controlling costs at a time of
growing network complexity by streamlining operations and unlocking
crucial capabilities, such as network slicing.
Nokia will support A1 in their efforts to cover all major
populated communities as well as main roads within the next 5
years. The rollout will also offer innovative new services to
consumers as well as vertical industries such as Industry 4.0. A1
is committed to continually improving and expanding its network
infrastructure to maintain its position as market leader.
Nokia is a long-standing partner of A1 and had worked
collaboratively to introduce 3G and 4G mobile networks as well as
Austria's largest fiber-optic network and multiple private wireless
campus installations.
Alex Kuchar, Group Director Technology & Future
Services at A1 Telekom Austria Group
said: “As we take steps towards the introduction of 5G in
these new markets it is imperative we have the best network
infrastructure to offer our customers commercial 5G services that
delivers all the technological advantages and benefits of 5G. We
are therefore pleased to continue our partnership with Nokia and I
looked forward to working collaboratively with them to deploy
market-leading digital services on this multi-market project.”

said: “We are delighted to have been selected by A1
Telekom Austria Group to support their rollout of our AirScale 5G
RAN and core technology across Bulgaria, Serbia and Slovenia. They
