#MWC19: Nokia expands Anyhaul transport portfolio with 25 Gbps speeds to support operator network investment for 5G rollouts
February 19 2019 - 3:01AM
Press Release
- Family of ultra-broadband transceivers and any-to any carrier
aggregation to reach even 20 Gbps for 5G microwave
transport
- Expanded optical and IP products purpose-built
for 5G fronthaul and edge cloud deployments support 25Gbps
speeds
- 25G PON proof of concept shows extreme throughput for
cost-effective network densification
20 February 2019
Espoo, Finland - In advance of Mobile World Congress, Nokia
today announces a raft of enhancements to its Anyhaul transport
portfolio that help operators prepare their networks for 5G by
delivering throughput speeds of up to 25 Gbps to base stations.
The launches span microwave, optical, IP and broadband
technologies within a carrier Software Defined Networking (SDN)
transport architecture. This simplifies the integration of
transport with cloud-based radio access and core networks, thereby
enabling an automated end-to-end 5G network slicing
and service provisioning system.
Nokia Anyhaul is the industry's most extensive range of
transport solutions. These solutions can be rapidly and dynamically
provisioned to support the massive connectivity, extreme low
latency and very high throughput demands of 5G services.
Programmability and automation dynamically create transport network
slices to quickly and cost-effectively match diverse application
and user needs with end-to-end service delivery guarantees.
The Nokia Anyhaul portfolio enables operators to deploy the
optimal mix of transport technologies to create a flexible fabric
that matches their unique network and business needs.
- A new release of the Nokia Wavence microwave portfolio
supports carrier aggregation to combine frequency bands in the
traditional uWave or mmWave frequencies or even with existing
third-party microwaves to achieve 5G-ready microwave throughput
beyond 10 Gbps. The 2+0 E-Band systems ensure 20 Gbps throughput,
as a single radio can provide 10 Gbps with the new 2 GHz channel
bandwidth. These E-Band ultra-broadband radios are ready to be
deployed in small form factor hardware variants to provide
fiber-like backhauling for small cells. The Wavence family includes
a new compact 5G-ready transceiver called UBT-C for optimal last
mile connections.
- The new Nokia 1830 Versatile WDM Module (VWM) Translation
Line Unit (TLU)-200 provides high density
wavelength translation at 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps speeds. Purpose-built
for Cloud RAN and Edge Cloud requirements, it simplifies operations
and improves reliability of fronthaul connectivity for 4G Common
Public Radio Interface (CPRI)/Open Base Station Architecture
Initiative (OBSAI) and 5G eCPRI data.
- A new, compact interconnect router, the Nokia 7250
IXR-e, is purpose-built to support 5G and edge cloud
requirements at or near base stations with 1/10/25/100 GE
interfaces. The 7250 IXR-e features a compact architecture with
efficient cooling and optimized space efficiency for minimal
installation costs. It complements the previously released 7250
IXR-R6, which also supports 5G requirements and 1/10/25/100 GE
interfaces.
- A proof of concept of Nokia Broadband Anyhaul 25G
Passive Optical Network (PON) demonstrates the viability of
building on existing fiber infrastructure to offer 25 Gbps speeds.
Co-existing with 2.5G and 10G PON technologies, 25G PON enables
more radio access sites to be connected on the same fiber to reduce
costs. Nokia successfully trialed 25G PON proof of concept with T-1
operators in North America and Japan in January 2019.
Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group,
said: "Mobile backhaul has always been done with a variety
of transport technologies to balance the needs of performance,
time, and economics. This will continue with 5G, and for this
reason, operators will need an assortment of transport
technologies-microwave, optical, IP and PON-that suit their unique
requirements in 5G fronthaul and backhaul. The rollout of 5G has
just started this year and if our predictions are correct, demand
for 5G backhaul transport systems (not including fiber) will begin
ramping in a year's time and surpass $1 billion of annual sales in
the following two years."
Phil Twist, VP of Networks Marketing and Communications, at
Nokia said: "Our Anyhaul portfolio is a key element of the
Nokia 5G Future X architecture, which equips our customers to take
advantage of the promise of this next generation of network
technology. Nokia Anyhaul has been deployed globally and is now
being selected in countries such as the US, Japan, China, and South
Korea where we are helping the fast-movers transform to 5G. The
expertise and invaluable best practices we gain will further
simplify and reduce risk for other operators as they move to
5G."
