Nokia Cloud Native Communication IMS network suite

The Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite (CNCS) is a simplified, IMS-based product designed as a single Cloud Native Network Function (CNF). This approach, based on a modular architecture composed of independent functions, is designed to simplify the deployment and operability of the IMS Voice Core, reducing installation and upgrade time. It provides automated deployment and configuration, reducing footprint, and lowers costs through operational savings of life cycle management.

Dedicated network elements, such as the Session Border Controller (SBC), Call Session Control Function (CSCF), Telephony Application Server (TAS) and Media Resource function (MRF) are encapsulated as microservices into the CNF.

Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite claims it improves energy efficiency by 10% to 20% compared to other IMS voice cores, because its software architecture improves common resource utilisation and internal messaging performance, requiring less infrastructure for the IMS voice service.

Nokia Cloud Native Communication Suite is optimised for fixed, 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi deployments.
