Nokia Deploys World's First Commercial 1900 MHz 5G Radio Network Solution For German National Railways

Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) is one of the 9 Most Profitable Penny Stocks to Buy Right Now. On September 15, Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK), along with German national railway firm Deutsche Bahn, deployed the world’s first commercial 1900 MHz 5G radio network solution with a 5G Standalone (SA) core.

Nokia and Deutsche Bahn are running the 5G radio network solution with a 5G SA core on live outdoor test tracks. This commercial installation is the first of its kind and positions Deutsche Bahn to leverage a modern mobile network on a frequency band dedicated to 5G railway communications in Europe.

“Deutsche Bahn wants to benefit from modern 5G-based telecommunications to upgrade the railway communication infrastructure. Collaborating with technology experts like Nokia is key for DB to bring the latest innovations into our real-world operations. This deployment on test tracks builds on a successful pre-FRMCS 5G trial conducted with Nokia and aims to standardize our private mobile network as a foundation for further pilots and future rollout,” said Rainer Fachinger, Head of Telecom Platforms at DB InfraGO.

The 5G radio network installation will make the rail operations more resilient, efficient, and sustainable through greater digitalization, capacity, and service reliability. This also transitions the railway industry from the legacy Global System for Mobile Communications for Railway (GSM-R) to the 5G-based FRMCS standard network. FRMCS comes with advanced technologies such as AI and offers a competitive, capable, and future-ready industry.

Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) offers mobile, fixed, and cloud network solutions. The company operates through four segments: Network Infrastructure, Mobile Networks, Cloud Network Services, and Nokia Technologies.
