Nokia on Wednesday announced that DISH has selected Nokia’s NetGuard solution to assist with securing the United States’ first cloud-native, Open RAN-based 5G wireless network.
This partnership will enable DISH to safeguard 5G network slices, which will be provisioned to support enterprise and wholesale customers.
Each 5G network slice can extend from the device through the radio, access, transport and core networks to each application server, and every path can be isolated and secured. Nokia’s NetGuard Security suite will be deployed within a cloud-native environment to provide security services through slice-specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
