Telecom operator T-2 has signed a five-year 5G network deal with Nokia to introduce enhanced 5G new radio (NR) services in Slovenia.

The new deal will see Nokia upgrade T-2’s existing Single RAN radio footprint as well as introduce enhanced 5G new radio (NR) services.

Nokia will provide equipment from its AirScale radio portfolio — powered by ReefShark System-on-Chip technology. This includes 5G RAN, AirScale base stations, and Nokia AirScale radio access products including its Single RAN portfolio for both indoor and outdoor coverage.

T-2 recently secured frequencies in the 2100 MHz and 2300 MHz bands at Slovenia’s spectrum auction conducted recently.

Jozef Zrimsek, CTO at T-2, said: “This important project will enhance the delivery of compelling new 5G services and use cases to our subscribers across the country”

Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said: “Our latest AirScale portfolio will help support T-2’s ambitious 5G roll-out plans and deliver incredible connectivity experiences across the country.”
