Nokia protects operators' investments in current technology by enabling radio portfolio to support low and high 5G frequency bands
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Nokia innovation to open up operator monetization of 5G and IoT, improve
spectral and energy efficiencies in the network and devices using existing
bands
* Demonstrations to also show how 5G in lower bands will enable fast, cost-
efficient wide area coverage
* Nokia 5G FIRST solution supports frequencies that will enable initial 5G
applications
13 June, 2017
London, UK - Nokia innovation and testing has underlined the flexibility,
upgradeability and scalability of its AirScale radio portfolio to adapt to the
frequency bands that will deliver the promise of 5G in initial applications of
the technology. By proving the ability of AirScale to support both low and high
bands, operators will be able to provide wide area coverage and indoor coverage
from the first day of 5G operations without the need for complicated network
reconfigurations.
5G promises a significant change in connectivity, delivering lower latency,
enhanced spectral efficiency and greater energy efficiency both for networks and
devices. The range of applications enabled by 5G - from multiple access needs in
a sports stadium and improving connectivity in dense urban environments, to
enabling 'Industry 4.0' applications and fixed wireless access - will require
high-band frequencies (millimeter wave and centimeter wave) as well as the
evolution of existing low-band frequencies.
At this week's 5G World Summit in London, Nokia will showcase how AirScale - a
key component of its 5G FIRST solution - can leverage Nokia Flexi RF units
already deployed by operators, ensuring that their existing investment in radio
technology is protected, while preparing them for the path to 5G. Nokia will
outline the use of different spectrum bands - from sub-1GHz to millimeter waves
- to meet expectations for depth of coverage as well as higher capacity and data
rates promised by 5G.
5G applications, such as connecting IoT devices as well as penetration of indoor
environments as well as coverage over large areas, require low-band frequencies.
The ability to utilize these bands has recently been verified in tests at
Nokia's 5G labs in Finland, and included the 700 MHz, 800 MHz and 850 MHz
frequencies.
Harold Graham, head of Nokia's 5G Business Line, said: "Enabling operators to
leverage their existing assets allows them to accelerate the rollout of 5G into
lower frequency bands as cost effectively as possible. This approach gives them
the ability to address new revenue opportunities across multiple industries."
