Nokia and Hrvatski Telekom (HT), Croatia’s largest telecom operator, are moving forward with pilot projects that link Nokia’s “Network as Code” platform to HT’s 5G assets. This collaboration aims to give developers seamless access to network functions, enabling them to create high-value applications tailored for HT’s customers in Croatia and other European regions. The partnership expands opportunities for consumer, enterprise, and industrial 5G applications by providing a standardized approach to accessing advanced network capabilities, including quality-of-service controls, without needing to manage the underlying technologies.
This initiative supports a growing API ecosystem with partners like Infobip, a global CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) provider, and Elmo, known for teledriving technology. Developers can use APIs from Infobip and Nokia to create applications integrating real-time communication and specialized network functions, such as quality control for video streaming, essential for use cases like Elmo’s remote vehicle control. Nokia currently has 27 partners worldwide, from telcos to hyperscalers, leveraging its platform to explore new revenue streams in network-based applications.
• The collaboration links Nokia’s “Network as Code” platform to HT’s 5G network.
• Infobip provides APIs for real-time communication like SMS, voice, and video.
• Elmo uses quality-of-service APIs for stable video connections in teledriving.
• Nokia’s platform allows developers to create applications without managing network complexities.
• Nokia’s ecosystem includes 27 partners, including BT, Orange, Google Cloud, and Telecom Argentina.
Boris Drilo, CTIO at Hrvatski Telekom, said: “Through collaboration on piloting projects with Nokia and other partners, we are exploring the great opportunities that could arise from unlocking the full potential of connecting new platforms with 5G network capabilities.”
