Espoo,
Containers are a way to provide an environment within a device which can host independent isolated applications without interfering with the functioning of the device or other applications. This means service providers can quickly add new services and capabilities, including from third parties, thereby opening up brand-new monetization opportunities.
Application containers are already widely used in cloud and enterprise domains, but is an emerging market for CSPs in a CPE environment.
“Application containers enable the ability for service providers to have more nimble solutions for their customers,” explained
Sandy Motley, President, Fixed Networks at
Nokia’s application containers will initially be available on its premium residential broadband devices including fiber, Wi-Fi and Fixed Wireless Access gateways.
