OSLO, Norway, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networks, is delivering the full 5G core network for ice, Norways third largest mobile operator to enable a network slicing service.

ice is utilising its new 5G standalone (SA) network to provide a dedicated network slice for the Norwegian Armed Forces, designed to deliver the specific service levels required by military communications. Essentially an isolated network-within-a-network, the Armed Forces will have exclusive use and control over their slice nationwide. It will be able to establish secure end-to-end communications across the network.

Mavenirs 5G mobile core is designed ready for network operators to enable network slicing for providing disruptive services to B2B, B2C or public organisations. Dedicated network slices can be designed to meet specified needs and applications, and quickly and easily deployed and managed, and used to deliver new and innovative services and applications. Mavenirs cloud-native 5G SA network is fully containerised, runs on any cloud service and designed with a microservices approach, giving the flexibility to address evolving customer needs in a scalable way.

This deployment of network slicing is realising the true value of 5G, said Tore Kristoffersen, VP Service delivery platforms for ice. We now have myriad possible new business cases to present to our enterprise customers, which can be tailored to precise service level agreements, ensuring the best and most cost-effective use of resources. We are also testing solutions for use in Public Safety services, highlighting the value of 5G and its network slicing capabilities for secure critical communications.

The flexibility of network slicing powered by 5G is a game-changer for mobile operators, said Ashok Khuntia, President of Core Networks, Mavenir. We are enabling 5G use cases in practice, proving that the long-promised monetisation of 5G is a reality. With security, reliability and low latency, 5G is a massive opportunity for the industry. We are delighted to be extending our strategic partnership with ice by supporting this first deployment in Norway.

Last year ice selected Mavenirs Cloud-Native IMS and Messaging/VAS in a strategic project expansion, having already selected Mavenirs Converged Packet Core solution to power its 4G and 5G network.
