How to improve delivering 4G and 5G services using policy management

5G notably expands the services that the network supports compared to 4G/LTE. There is no use case that works without policy control — both traditional and cutting-edge use cases for consumers and enterprises require a flexible policy control function. As we enter the 5G era, many of the new use cases will be in Industry 4.0 and include critical Machine-Type Communications (cMTC) for industrial automation, as well as massive IoT networks. This means that with 5G, there is a much wider range of devices and use cases and greater complexity in terms of policy rules.  

Read our e-book to discover how to manage this complexity and scale in a flexible and agile way.

Improve resilience, scalability and disaster recovery with NPC’s 3 sites geo-redundancy solution

With more extreme weather events, geo-political conflicts, or even an errant backhoe, network operators face a range of challenges that can interrupt services for their customers and cause financial and reputational loss. In the case of natural disasters such as tsunamis, floods, and fires, the damage can be extensive. In these cases, it is important to geographically separate redundant operations to protect against local and regional outage events. Click here to see what option Nokia Policy Controller offers for CSPs and Enterprises to manage unforeseen events through 3 sites geo-redundancy use case.

Supercharge your services and monetization with URSP

User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) - powered by Nokia Policy Controller and Network Slicing - offers a new generation of building and operating networks, and ensures unlimited flexibility and speed in providing differentiated services. URSP enables a new approach to monetization for Communication Service Providers (CSPs).

URSP enables the user equipment (UE) to switch automatically among different network slices, depending on which application is running on the device and which profile is associated with it. Applications - based on the specific requirements of the assigned profile - are routed to a dedicated slice to get the required Quality of Services (QoS), and therefore a pre-defined user experience. Among other attributes, low latency, high bandwidth, ultra-reliability can be associated with an application. The policies can either be pre-configured on the device itself or can be provided dynamically by the Nokia Policy Controller.

URSP is not only beneficial to subscribers to get the best user experience but also to operators, who can optimize the usage of resources, address a wide range of use cases, and deliver new services to the market quickly. This way, the CSPs can maximize its return on investment and minimize time to market.
