Nokia shows how 4.9G technology will reduce network latency on the path to 5G at #MWCS17
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Nokia lowers network latency to less than two milliseconds using 4.9G
technology with AirScale base station at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017
* Nokia's evolution of 4G/LTE will deliver faster network response times in
support of applications such as 'Industry 4.0' automation and autonomous
cars
* Shows how operators can complement initial 5G deployments with high-
performance LTE technology
28 June 2017
Shanghai, China - Nokia is to demonstrate the role high-performance 4G
technology will play on the path to 5G to ensure continuity-of-service when 5G
technology is deployed. At Mobile World Congress Shanghai, Nokia will show its
AirScale base station working with 4.9G technology to reduce network latency to
less than two milliseconds, bringing performance closer to the latency levels
5G is expected to deliver.
5G will enable new applications, such as 'Industry 4.0' industrial automation,
autonomous vehicles, remote healthcare and immersive virtual reality
entertainment, each requiring massive bandwidth and extremely low levels of
network latency. Initial deployments of 5G technology will be in highly
populated megacity centers, where demands on existing LTE network resources from
consumers and enterprises will remain high. By moving the performance of LTE
networks closer to a 5G experience using Nokia's 4.9G technology, operators can
support these higher-bandwidth applications on the path to 5G while ensuring
continuity of service once 5G is initially deployed.
In its demonstration at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, Nokia will employ 4.9G
to reduce network latency to less than two milliseconds using a feature that
allows transmission time intervals to be shortened by 86 percent. This will
leverage the Nokia AirScale base station, which will allow operators to support
both 4.9G and 5G technology in a single unit to maximize speed and capacity as
they migrate to 5G.
Shiv Putcha, Associate Director, IDC Asia Pacific said: "With the move from
3G to LTE networks, shortened latency times were crucial for an improved mobile
broadband user experience. With this demonstration, Nokia has set a new
benchmark for LTE network latency performance, bringing it closer to the 5G
levels needed for industry and enterprise applications. This will allow
operators to begin support for new applications and deliver service continuity
as operators start rolling out 5G networks."
Tero Peltola, head of the LTE business line at Nokia, said : "We are committed
to helping operators evolve their networks in the most effective way, allowing
them to anticipate and meet demands with higher performance where and when it is
needed. We continue to evolve our 4G offering with 4.5G Pro and 4.9G
technologies, and with this network latency demonstration we can show operators
how they could use LTE to deliver higher-bandwidth industry and enterprise
applications to more customers on their path to 5G."
