Nokia announced that it has been selected by Norlys, the owner of Telia Denmark and the largest integrated energy and telecommunications operator in Denmark, to provide its mobile core network and managed services. The deal, combined with a RAN contract signed with Nokia in 2021, will enhance Norlys' mobile network performance and reliability. Reflecting Nokia's commitment to driving innovation and supporting the digital transformation of its customers and partners, the latest deal will enable Norlys to provide a full-service solution to its customers and open up new growth opportunities in Denmark.

The deal covers the deployment of Nokia's 4G/5G packet core, and IMS and SDM solutions, which will support voice and data services for Norlys subscribers. The core network applications will run on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. Red Hat OpenShift is integrated into Nokia Cloud Platform, providing a cloud-native and scalable infrastructure.

Nokia will secure the operator's network through its NetGuard telco grade Endpoint Detection and Response, Privileged Access Management, and Certificate Management solutions. Nokia will also deliver a holistic service wrap entailing managed security, performance, and assurance services; in addition to its 7220 IXR platforms running SR Linux network operating system (NOS) for network connectivity within the data centers. Nokia MantaRay NM will be deployed for seamless network management and automated operations, as well as for network optimization and technical support services.
