- The move enables greater automation, new business models and future-ready services.
- Migration to cloud-native Nokia Converged Charging supports Proximus’ digital transformation.
ESPOO, Finland – Proximus has chosen Nokia to modernise its online charging system and voice core, adopting innovative, cloud-native solutions to enhance automation and support new business models.
Proximus will migrate its entire customer base (fixed and mobile), as well as more than 1,000 products, to Nokia’s cutting-edge cloud-native charging solution, Nokia Converged Charging. The agreement covers the full replacement of a competitor’s existing charging system.
Proximus will also implement Nokia’s cloud-native Voice Core, Subscriber Data Management and Policy solutions to improve network automation and support flexible scaling. Furthermore, the upgrades enable Proximus to advance its journey toward more autonomous networks while launching new 5G monetisation services.
All solutions will be deployed on Proximus’ own cloud with Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes.
“Cloud-native solutions provide the modularity, automation and intelligence required to make networks increasingly self-managing, self-optimizing and self-healing. By modernising this area of its operations, Proximus will be in a better position to securely deliver innovative services and unlock revenue streams from emerging use cases that span IoT, content, gaming, advertising and beyond,” said Kal De, SVP, Product and Engineering, Cloud and Network Services at Nokia.
“Nokia has been a key supplier and trusted partner for many years, consistently delivering high-quality solutions that span multiple domains. In addition to its expertise in secure migration and network integration, Nokia provides us tailored solutions that address our needs. We look forward to working together to accelerate the next stage of Proximus’ digital transformation,” said Laurent Claus, core & communication solutions lead, Proximus.
