Nokia next generation fiber technology delivers high capacity, low latency mobile transport solution for 5G era
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Nokia's mobile transport solution extends the performance of fiber access
networks to converge business, residential and mobile services on a single
infrastructure
* Leveraging fixed networks enables operators to reduce CAPEX of mobile
backhaul by as much as 50%
Espoo - Nokia is introducing a broad set of next-generation fiber access
solutions that deliver on the capacity and latency requirements essential for
mobile transport. Nokia's addition of next-generation 10Gbps passive optical
network (PON) and point-to-point (P2P) fiber to its mobile transport solution
gives operators the capacity, scale and flexibility needed to support network
densification in the 5G era.
Nokia's mobile transport solution enables operators to leverage existing passive
optical networks used in Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments and quickly gain
the capacity and coverage 5G requires. Eliminating the need to create parallel
and dedicated networks, operators can now cost-effectively connect radio cells
to a fixed network at scale and gradually introduce more bandwidth as service
needs increase. With some forecasting the number of small cells to grow at 38%
CAGR through 2021(1), this flexibility will be critical as networks continuously
evolve to better address ultra-broadband demands.
Nokia's mobile transport solution includes a number of new enhancements to its
7360 ISAM FX access node and 7368 ISAM ONT optical network termination devices,
delivering the multi-gigabit capacity needed to support the massive throughput
requirements and cell densification 5G requires. Nokia's ISAM portfolio combines
carrier-grade transport capabilities with best-in-class synchronization support
required in 3G, 4G and 5G mobile transport networks, providing operators such as
Du and Telefonica with access to the flexibility needed to effectively ready
their networks for 5G.
The enhanced mobile transport solution is also being used as part of a Bell Labs
proof-of-concept that demonstrates the flexibility of 10G symmetrical PON
networks for low latency applications such as mobile fronthaul. By adding
gateway functionality to a next-generation PON network, Nokia is able to convert
mobile fronthaul CPRI signals to Ethernet. The proof of concept validates the
readiness of PON for fronthaul and its Ethernet-based evolutions for the 5G era.
Federico Guillen, president of Nokia Fixed Networks said: "The biggest
opportunity on the horizon for fixed networks is the arrival of 5G. It's clear
that 5G will require very high capacity and low delay, but what is less certain
is just how much capacity will be required for backhaul and what latency will be
sufficient. We take the guesswork out of the equation. Our solution allows
operators to access existing PON networks that have virtually unlimited capacity
to meet their needs today, with the added flexibility to add 10G PON evolutions
gradually as demand for more bandwidth and services increases. The massive
throughput and cell densification strategy of 5G make it a perfect match for
existing FTTH deployments."
Rupert Wood, Research Director at Analysys Mason said: "Fiber networks and next-
generation access technologies such as XGS and TWDM-PON are uniquely positioned
to address the evolving mobile transport needs in the era of 5G. By leveraging
FTTH networks that are already in place, and vendor technologies such as Nokia's
mobile transport solution, mobile operators can quickly gain access to the
capacity, scale and flexibility needed to support 'anyhaul' applications."
Did you know:
* In urban areas, 5G radio deployments will use cm Wave & mm Wave spectrum
with 150 to 300 radio sites per km².
* Comparable urban FTTH networks are 10x denser, can support up to 3,000
connections per km² and have by design the headroom to connect these
additional radio sites.
