Nokia (NOK) has launched Mobile Core Early Access, a live, hosted environment that allows users to evaluate how new capabilities operate before deciding on deployment, the company said Tuesday.

Mobile Core Early Access is intended to serve as a platform for telecommunication providers and enterprises to adopt new mobile core capabilities and use cases, Nokia said.

Nokia said the environment provides access to an end-to-end setup that allows participants to evaluate how new capabilities operate across cloud-native network functions.

The tool was introduced in June to a select group of 30 companies but is now open to the global industry, the company added.
