Nokia, Telia, and the Finnish Defense Forces announced on April 9, 2025, the completion of the world's first successful 5G standalone slice handover across multiple countries on a live network. This trial was conducted in Finland in March during a Nordic defense exercise.
The achievement 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. This marks a major advancement in critical communications.
This demonstration showcases the potential of 5G technology in enhancing critical communications for defense units operating within coalition environments, ensuring a seamless experience even when crossing country borders. It highlights Nokia's innovation in secure tactical communications and opens new market opportunities in the defense sector.
