#MWC 19: Nokia small cells provide new mmWave and mid-band options to ensure optimal indoor and outdoor 5G coverage
February 20 2019 - 3:01AM
Press Release
- mmWave small cell offers flexible deployment to cover
extreme-traffic outdoor areas with high capacity 5G
connectivity
- Small cell mid-band radio enables operators to
seamlessly upgrade indoor coverage to 5G
20 February 2019
Espoo, Finland - In advance of Mobile World Congress, Nokia
today announces two new additions to its AirScale small cells
portfolio that extend the high performance of 5G both indoors and
outdoors and support a wide range of use cases. A compact
millimeter wave (mmWave) radio offers cost-effective 5G outdoor
coverage of extremely high traffic areas such as airports, stadiums
and busy pedestrian zones. In addition, a new 5G pico Remote Radio
Head for the Nokia AirScale Indoor Radio System enables an upgrade
of indoor coverage to 5G without replacing installed hardware, even
in complex buildings such as hospitals and shopping malls.
Ubiquitous 5G connectivity requires deploying high-band mmWave
for ultra-high capacity but limited coverage and deploying lower
bands for wider coverage with lower capacity. As operators densify
their networks to meet the extreme capacity requirements of a
variety of use cases, it is critical to deploy the appropriate
small cell technology to ensure reliable 5G performance.
Kyung Mun, Principal Analyst, Mobile Experts said:
"Nokia's expanding small cell portfolio, including 5G pico Remote
Radio Heads and millimeter wave small cells, expands the operator's
toolkit as they deploy 5G into challenging places. Expanding
with 5G is critical, as demand is growing faster than capacity in
the LTE network. Nokia's end-to-end capability puts them in
position to tie things together-C-band, LAA, mm-wave, indoor,
outdoor, for operators and private enterprises."
Mark Atkinson, Head of 5G and Small Cells of Nokia said:
"Small cells are perfectly suited for using 5G mmWave and mid-bands
to deliver very high capacity to support the busiest traffic areas
and ensure subscribers always enjoy the highest quality services.
We are building on our small cells leadership to enable operators
to deploy almost any scenario of 4G indoor and outdoor capacity and
coverage that can be upgraded to 5G New Radio using a choice of
spectrum bands."
The new 5G AirScale mmWave Radio supports 28 GHz and 39
GHz bands to provide extreme high-capacity for the busiest traffic
locations.
- Compact, high-power small cell offers a range of deployment
options for easy installation.
- Allows 180-degree, 360-degree and multi-band deployments to
provide flexible coverage that meets mmWave radio signal
attenuation challenges.
- Support for eCPRI connectivity to a distributed data center
provides high capacity fronthaul
- Can be flexible to support baseband unit functionality using a
modular compact component
The new 5G pico Remote Radio Head supports sub-6 GHz to
provide 5G coverage and capacity in busy indoor locations.
- Operators can upgrade existing installations to 5G simply by
attaching 5G pico Remote Radio Heads directly to the AirScale smart
HUB and by daisy-chaining them with existing legacy technology pico
Remote Radio Heads.
- Deployable on an existing Distributed Antenna System.
- High 4 x 250 mW output power for a wide coverage area.
- New dual port Ethernet extender allows pico Remote Radio Heads
to be located up to 200m away from the smart HUB for even greater
deployment flexibility.
