How Infinity and Nokia Help Carriers Scale for 5G and Streamline Operations
As U.S. telecommunications providers face intensifying pressure to roll out 5G services, streamline operations, and reduce carbon footprints, the importance of modernizing legacy network infrastructure has never been greater. Whether you’re a national Tier 1 carrier or a regional service provider, adopting cloud-native technologies is the key to unlocking agile, high-performance, and future-proof voice services.
Infinity Technology Solutions, in partnership with Nokia, enables American operators to deploy cutting-edge voice core solutions like Nokia’s Cloud Native Communication Suite (CNCS), Nokia Cloud Platform (NCP), and Shared Data Layer (SDL). These technologies are already revolutionizing service delivery for global operators like 2degrees in New Zealand, and now, Infinity is making them readily accessible to telecom companies across the United States.
Simplifying Voice Core Architecture with CNCS
Nokia’s Cloud Native Communication Suite (CNCS) delivers a fully containerized, cloud-native IMS voice core that unifies key functions – including the Session Border Controller (SBC), Call Session Control Function (CSCF), Telephony Application Server (TAS), and Media Resource Function (MRF) – into a single, manageable Cloud-Native Network Function (CNF).
Infinity Benefits for U.S. Telecoms:
- Streamlined 4G and 5G Voice Services: Support VoLTE and Vo5G from a single architecture.
- Reduced Complexity and OPEX: A single CNF dramatically simplifies lifecycle management, upgrades, and scaling.
- Energy Efficiency: CNCS consumes 10–20% less power than traditional IMS cores, lowering your environmental impact and utility costs.
With CNCS, telecom providers can retire legacy platforms, prepare for 2G/3G sunsets, and deploy an IMS voice network that supports mobile and fixed-line services across any access type.
Powered by the Nokia Cloud Platform
The Nokia Cloud Platform (NCP), a robust, secure, and automated cloud infrastructure built on Red Hat OpenShift, is the foundation of this transformation.
What Makes NCP Ideal for U.S. Operators:
Secure, Carrier-Grade Kubernetes Infrastructure: Hardened with RBAC, SCC, network policies, image validation, and encryption.
Scalable Architecture: Supports both vertical and horizontal growth with seamless CNF orchestration.
Automation-Driven Operations: Integrated lifecycle tools reduce manual intervention and Day 2 complexity.
Infinity helps operators deploy and manage NCP across edge and core environments, enabling consistent operations and rapid service rollouts for urban 5G networks or rural broadband initiatives.
Transforming Data Architecture with Shared Data Layer (SDL)
Telecoms that move to cloud-native architectures often find themselves bottlenecked by legacy data silos. That’s where Nokia’s Shared Data Layer (SDL) comes in. This fully virtualized, redundant data store unifies all subscriber, session, and policy data into a centralized platform.
Key SDL Advantages for U.S. Providers
- Stateless VNFs for Resilience and Agility: Any VNF can access subscriber data on demand, improving fault tolerance and flexibility.
- Faster Innovation: Real-time analytics and third-party APIs drive new revenue-generating services.
- Simplified Upgrades and Migrations: With a unified data store, migrating to 5G Core becomes exponentially faster and less risky.
Infinity’s deployment expertise ensures that SDL is integrated securely into your core network, ready to support programmable 5G services and massive IoT scale.
Who Can Benefit?
Whether you’re a national carrier needing to modernize legacy IMS deployments or a smaller regional provider looking to leapfrog into 5G, Infinity’s approach is built for scalability and ease of integration.
Our Solutions Are Ideal For:
Mobile Network Operators: Future-proof voice and data services with cloud-native IMS and multi-access support.
Fixed Wireless Providers: Support residential voice, enterprise SIP trunking, and UCaaS over a single core platform.
