Nokia utilizes Intel technology to drive greater 5G network savings

Nokia (NOK) in collaboration with Intel (INTC) announced that they are targeting greater energy efficiency improvements in 5G networks by using Xeon processors and power management software from Intel that will power Nokia’s cloud-native 5G Core solutions. The two companies’ advances, building on years of innovation, will give communication service providers more leverage in reducing electricity usage and costs in their networks. In testing demonstrations, Nokia achieved approximately 40% runtime power savings using Nokia’s cloud-native 5G Core, integrated with Intel Infrastructure Power Manager software and 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, while maintaining key network performance metrics.
