Nokia, Telia Break Ground With Live 5G Slice Trial Across Three Nations For Defense Operations
Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK), Telia, and the Finnish Defense Forces completed the world's first successful 5G standalone slice handover across multiple countries on a live network on Wednesday. The trial was made possible by Nokia's advanced 5G Core Software as a Service (SaaS) and AirScale 5G base stations, powered by ReefShark System-on-Chip technology, integrated with Telia's commercial network. Conducted in Finland in March during a Nordic defense exercise, the trial marks a major advancement in 5G capabilities for defense and other mission-critical sectors. The test demonstrated seamless, secure connectivity over a 5G standalone slice while transitioning across three networks in three countries. Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, added, "Seamless 5G slice continuity over country borders is a breakthrough for defense operations, enabling secure and reliable communications for collaborative missions that extend beyond national territories." "Our trial with Telia and the Finnish Defense Forces reflects our commitment to delivering robust 5G solutions for defense customers, helping them achieve mission-critical objectives," Jarmo Vähätiitto, Major General, Finnish Defense Command, Chief of C5 said, "This trial marks a significant milestone in showcasing the dual-use possibilities of 5G for defense while also enhancing communication capabilities within the NATO domain." Yesterday, the company entered a five-year deal with Fibrus, which is a leading broadband provider in Northern Ireland and Cumbria. The company plans to implement its Deepfield solution across Fibrus' expanding network. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Shares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF (NYSE:IDGT) and Defiance Connective Technologies ETF (NASDAQ: SIXG).

Lockheed Martin, Nokia, and Verizon Advance Defense Capabilities Through 5G.MIL® Collaboration
Demonstration advances interoperability of commercial 5G connections with military communications systems Successfully integrated Nokia's military-grade 5G solutions and Verizon network management capabilities into Lockheed Martin hybrid base station BETHESDA, Md., March 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), Nokia (NYSE: NOK), and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) today announced the successful integration of Nokia's industry-leading, military-grade 5G solutions into Lockheed Martin's Hybrid Base Station (HBS). The technology advances new capabilities to integrate commercial 5G connections with military communications systems to provide decisive information for national defense. 5G is playing an expanding role in supporting tactical military missions, seamlessly complementing existing battlefield solutions. Expert Perspectives 'The United States and its allies increasingly depend on fast, secure and advanced communications to access critical information and ensure effective deterrence against threats,' said John Clark, senior vice president, Lockheed Martin Technology & Strategic Innovation. ' integrations like this strategic relationship with Nokia and Verizon will help ensure data is seamlessly routed throughout the battlespace in ways that make future mission success possible.' 'This successful integration highlights the flexibility of Nokia's cutting-edge, 5G solutions to meet the unique demands of defense, ensuring robust security, optimized size, weight, and power efficiency, while supporting O-RAN and open, interoperable technologies,' said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia. 'Through our work with Lockheed Martin and Verizon, we are bringing the transformative power of 5G to mission-critical defense operations, enhancing situational awareness, speeding up decision-making, and reinforcing mission success.' Dive Deeper In a series of recent demonstrations, Lockheed Martin integrated Nokia's military-grade 5G solutions into the Unified Network Solutions ecosystem, including interoperability with Verizon's network operations and management solutions. These tests successfully integrated traditional tactical communications solutions with 5G using open systems architecture and commercial standards. Leveraging open standards in this way allows for rapid integration of new, advanced capabilities into HBS configurations, ensuring new products and technology solutions are drop-in ready with no risk of vendor lock. Initial integration was completed with equipment from Nokia's leading 5G portfolio at Verizon's Boston Innovation Center and HBS components at Lockheed Martin's Valley Forge laboratory in Pennsylvania. Final systems integration, testing and demonstration were accomplished at Lockheed Martin's facility in Ft. Worth, Texas. The demonstration included HBS connectivity to hybrid user equipment (HUE) that allows users to switch access links between commercial 5G and tactical LPx waveforms while maintaining uninterrupted user application sessions on an Android user device. LPX designates low-probability-of-detection, interception, exploitation, jamming, geolocation and spoofing. By integrating the HBS with Nokia's 5G solutions, as well as demonstrating interoperability with Verizon's public 5G network and leveraging their network operations management software, Lockheed Martin and its strategic collaborators are well positioned to bring new levels of performance, scalability, and reliability to military, national security wireless, and ally international defense networks. What's Next? This strategic collaboration for Lockheed Martin, Nokia, and Verizon will enable continuing integration of new technology advancements, including incorporation of Nokia's 5G technology at Lockheed Martin's Experimental Network site in Orlando, Florida, joining Verizon's capabilities already available on-site. With 5G's low latency, high bandwidth, and secure connectivity, warfighters can leverage real-time data and advanced situational awareness in dynamic operational environments. The team will continue to refine and enhance technical offerings, including expanding hybrid network testing to include additional user device types, broader tactical communication system interoperability, and secure public-private network configurations. This will create new ways for customers to apply enhanced capabilities to global military, national security, and homeland defense mission areas, giving operators greater connectivity, faster and more reliable wireless networks, and enhanced interoperability in support of Joint All Domain Operations.
