UK mobile operator Three has selected Ericsson to build it a new cloud-native core network – replacing Nokia who has been doing the job since 2019.
Three says it will be the largest cloud-native core network in Europe and will more than triple its core capacity to 9 terabits per second (Tbps). The operator drafted Nokia to upgrade its network with a fully cloud-based 5G-ready core back in 2019 as it prepared to launch 5G services, and Affirmed Networks was also in the mix for traffic management duties.
