Nokia maximizes network speed and capacity on path to 5G with launch of 4.9G technology and AirScale Active Antennas #MWC17
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Network performance-boosting 4.9G features - including massive MIMO -
available by end of 2017
* World's-first Cloud Single RAN to be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress
* Comprehensive range of AirScale Active Antennas will allow operators to
densify 'megacity' deployments and drive much-needed capacity on path to 5G
* New 4.5G Pro AirScale RRHs to optimize operators' limited resources and make
Gigabit speeds attainable
13 February, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia will introduce its 4.9G technologies by the end of 2017,
allowing operators to dramatically enhance their network performance and manage
the significantly higher infrastructure demands on the path to 5G. A 4.9G
massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna will also increase cell capacity by up to five
times, while a new 4.5G Pro AirScale Micro Remote Radio Head (RRH) will allow
operators to take advantage of unlicensed spectrum to enable Gigabit speeds.
Nokia 4.9G will provide significant increases in capacity and several Gigabits
of speed-per-second on the path to 5G. The introduction of the AirScale massive
MIMO Adaptive Antenna is a milestone in the delivery of 4.9G, driving capacity
increases for megacity deployments. At Mobile World Congress 2017, Nokia -
working with the US service provider Sprint - will demonstrate the technology
using 3D Beamforming software to deliver throughput gains of up to eightfold
uplink and fivefold downlink. The demonstration will leverage commercially-
available devices operating on TD-LTE band 41.
The AirScale massive MIMO launch complements Nokia 4.9G Cloud RAN technology. At
Mobile World Congress, Nokia will give a world-first demonstration of Cloud
Single RAN running virtualized 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G radios and 2G and 3G network
controllers over commercial AirScale and AirFrame platforms..
A range of AirScale Active Antennas will complement Nokia's existing commercial
Radio Antenna System. In addition to the AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna,
the AirScale Compact Active Antenna will provide an even leaner site solution
that increases performance and lowers operators' costs.
Nokia will also make 4.5G Pro Gigabit data speeds a reality now for operators
with limited and disparate blocks of spectrum, while allowing them to densify
networks with the commercial introduction of a new AirScale Micro Remote Radio
Head (RRH). This will allow macro sites to leverage unlicensed spectrum using
Licensed Assisted Access (LAA).
As cities grow and the world's population becomes increasingly urban, operators
need to rapidly densify networks in city locations while slashing costs and CO2
emissions. Nokia is introducing enhancements to its AirScale base station that
will allow them to do this with the most compact footprint while reducing
operational costs by up to 40 percent. The new AirScale multiband remote radio
heads include the world's first triple-band example, while Nokia is also
launching new frequency variants. Nokia Zero Emission 3.0 will reduce operators'
energy consumption by up to 50 percent using new hardware and software features
while the Intelligent Deployment Platform uses automation to accelerate AirScale
deployment life cycle by up to 40 percent.
Nokia continues to innovate using 4.5G Pro and 4.9G technologies and will
highlight many of its ultra-broadband developments at Mobile World Congress,
including:
* World-first demonstration of 4.9G AirScale technology to achieve 3 Gbps peak
rates
* World-first demonstration of 4.5G Pro CBRS-FDD four carrier aggregation
connected to Nokia Bell Labs Spectrum Access System (SAS) using a commercial
chipset*
* Nokia Bell Labs Liquid Cooling demonstration converting 80 percent of base
station waste into useful heat to reduce site power costs.
Frank Weyerich, head of Mobile Networks Products at Nokia, said: "Nokia
introduced 4.5G Pro and 4.9G last year to allow operators to implement network
capacity increases where and when it made sense for them. Now we are delivering
features that will maximize their resources, speed deployment times and cut
power and costs especially in the most densely populated locations. We are
making 4.5G Pro a commercial reality now and working with customers to innovate
with solutions to their network densification and evolution challenges in 4.9G
and beyond."
