Nokia introduced a new 5G outdoor fixed wireless access receiver for urban, suburban, and rural areas. The outdoor receiver allows operators to use low-cost mmWave spectrum to provide consistent, reliable, ultra-fast wireless broadband services in areas where fiber can be challenging to deploy.
Thehe outdoor receiver uses unique 360-degree field-of-view technology and Nokia Bell Labs advanced algorithms to enhance performance. Nokia says the receiver has the ability to create a digital fingerprint of available radio signals, enabling it to identify changes and rapidly switch between signal sources to ensure the best possible connection is maintained between the base station and receiver. Jigh gain antennas (up to 27 dBi) enables the mmWave FWA solution to work in non-Line-of-Sight conditions.
Dirk Verhaegen, VP of Broadband Devices at Nokia, said: “We are excited to introduce the FastMile 5G mmWave Receiver, a game-changer for FWA services. Operators that have successfully deployed FWA frequently come up against capacity challenges. mmWave is ideally suited to solve this, allowing operators to add capacity where needed. Our High-Gain, 360-degree mmWave technology eliminates line-of-sight hurdles associated with mmWave, making it easier for operators to deploy and quickly add capacity to their FWA network.”
