O2 Czech Republic has deployed Nokia 5G Standalone (SA) Core software in a move that will enable the country?s biggest operator to offer advanced 5G services, like slicing, that deliver a better customer experience. O2 Czech Republic is the first operator in the country to deploy 5G SA. The rollout strengthens O2 Czech Republic?s network with greater reliability, security, energy efficiency for better mobile battery life, and near zero-touch automation for managing workloads.
Nokia?s cloud-native 5G Core portfolio, including its Packet Core solution, allows O2 Czech Republic to provide new network services in multi-cloud environments, while doing so quickly, securely, and at scale. The deployment reflects the ongoing market momentum of Nokia?s Core business. At the end of First Quarter 2025, Nokia again led the world in 5G SA Core deployments with 52 operators in live 5G Standalone service and the most 5G Standalone Core CSP customers, with 125 in total.?
The Nokia Core Network portfolio is fully cloud-native across the board, which makes it much easier for operators to run their full 4G/5G Core in cloud-native network functions.
