IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK), which have a history of collaborating in the enterprise space, announced at the Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona that they intend to build a simplified private 5G managed service to enterprises on the IBM Cloud Satellite.
“As clients innovate at the edge, IBM Cloud Satellite helps provide enhanced resiliency, performance, security and compliance capabilities,” IBM said. “Additionally, we intend to explore ways to enable communications service providers (CSPs) to design, automatically build, instantly connect, as well as operate and observe their private 5G environments using a unified management stack.”
Supported by IBM Consulting’s systems integration, Nokia intends to integrate IBM’s Cloud Pak for Network Automation solution into its current joint offering, which IBM has validated for the deployment of IBM Cloud Satellite.
“CSPs may be able to address new connectivity demands in a flexible, simplified, automated way that provides them with the ability to potentially offer enterprise connectivity solutions at scale,” IBM said. “This could give CSPs the ability to run applications elastically and connect across multiple private 5G environments, regardless of their geographic location.”
