Nokia says that it has successfully piloted 4G and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network slicing in Kenya with the help of the country’s biggest telco, Safaricom. The live network trial took place in Kenya’s Western Region. Nokia claims this pilot program is the first time that 4G and 5G network slicing has been successfully tested anywhere in Africa.
“The trial utilized a multivendor network environment and included RAN, transport and core as well as software upgrades to a range of Nokia’s products and services,” said Nokia in a release.
