Press Release
Nokia passes control to
CSPs to deploy
applications
on its broadband devices
- Nokia introduces application containers enabling communication
service providers (CSPs) to easily install applications on customer
premise equipment
- Nokia is establishing a community of third party application
providers to create new revenue streams to broadband providers who
want to offer enhanced user experiences from cybersecurity to
entertainment to productivity
- Nokia projects 30% of broadband-connected homes will use third
party applications and services within containers by 2025
13 October 2021
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today
announced it is enabling CSPs to directly
upload and manage the lifecycle
of applications on its
broadband devices. In a move that
heralds a new beginning in their relationship with customers,
CSPs can
now bypass firmware releases to
deploy new
applications using
Nokia’s application container
solution. The new
solution, launched today at the Broadband World
Forum in Amsterdam, opens up new
monetization opportunities for CSPs
who can now
dynamically provide a far richer suite of
services.
Containers are a way to provide an environment within a device
which can host independent isolated applications without
interfering with the functioning of the device or other
applications. This means service providers can quickly add new
services and capabilities, including from third parties, thereby
opening up brand-new monetization
opportunities. Application
containers are already widely used in cloud and enterprise domains,
but is an emerging market for CSPs in a CPE environment.
“Application containers enable the ability for service providers
to have more nimble solutions for their customers,” explained
John Kendall, Principal Analyst from Omdia.
“Whereas previously, these new services would need to be
pre-installed on the broadband gateway, containers empower service
providers to easily and rapidly provide new capabilities to their
customers, bringing new potential revenue streams. These can
include VPN access to work from home, enhanced threat protection,
better latency for streaming video and online gaming, privacy and
parental controls.”
Nokia is establishing an community of third party developers to
make their applications available to CSPs through its application
container platform. Initial partners include F-Secure for
cybersecurity, Broadpeak for multicast-ABR video delivery,
Cognitive Systems for Wi-Fi motion sensing, Gamebench for
performance monitoring, Domos for performance optimization, Ookla
for speed test, and NTOP for traffic analysis.
Sandy Motley,
President, Fixed Networks at
Nokia said “We believe
application containers are as exciting for broadband providers as
was the invention of app stores for mobile devices. They open a
whole new world for our customers to innovate, to create revenue
streams and to bring more value to the end-users. We conservatively
estimate that by 2025, 30% of broadband-connected homes will be
benefiting from third party software and services delivered to the
devices via applications containers.”
Nokia’s application containers will initially be available on
its premium residential broadband devices including fiber, Wi-Fi
and Fixed Wireless Access gateways.
Notes to editors
With application containers, Nokia introduces an isolated
environment within its devices in which applications can run using
dedicated resources such as CPU power and memory. The container
separates the apps from the device operating system meaning the
life cycle of the application can be managed directly by the
operator and independently of the device’s firmware updates.
Nokia’s application containers will initially be available on
the following broadband devices:
- The Nokia WiFi Beacon 6, an Ethernet gateway; tri-band Wi-Fi 6
(2+2+4 MIMO)
- The new Nokia Optical Network Termination XS-2426G-B, with
XGS-PON uplink (10 Gb/s); Wi-Fi 6 with 4+4 MIMO and 160 MHz
support; one 2.5 Gb/s and three 1 Gb/s LAN ports
- The new Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway 3.2 for 5G network
connectivity and in-home Nokia mesh Wi-Fi 6 for a complete,
user-installable Fixed Wireless Access solution
