Massive MIMO Adaptive Antennas

Our AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antennas portfolio includes 32TRX and 64TRX for the TDD 4G and 5G mid-bands and dual-band 16TRX for FDD bands. Each enabling the deployment of beamforming optimized solutions covering all deployment scenarios, from dense-urban capacity to wide-area coverage.

New generation Massive MIMO Adaptive Antennas

Our AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antennas portfolio includes 32TRX and 64TRX for the TDD 4G and 5G mid-bands and dual-band 16TRX for FDD bands. These enable the deployment of beamforming optimized solutions covering all deployment scenarios, from dense-urban capacity to wide-area coverage.

Powered by Nokia new generation ReefShark System on Chip (SoC), these new generation massive MIMO antennas are light in weight and industry leading at 17 kilograms. This simplifies deployment considerations and eases installation, speeding-up the rollout of 5G.

These new designs also support high RF bandwidths, up to 400 MHz, making them ideal for covering fragmented spectrum or network sharing use cases. The ability to support high bandwidth can mean the difference between deploying one or multiple antennas.

Available in both 32TRX and 64TRX configurations, these industry leading antennas are the ideal choice for all 5G network deployments, delivering high-performance and high-efficiency, while also simplifying site solutions.

Passive Active Antennas (Hybrid antennas)

Nokia’s modular Passive Active Antennas cleverly integrate a 5G massive MIMO antenna or an 8T8R remote radio head with a multiband passive antenna.

This results in smaller form-factors and fewer boxes on site, which simplifies deployment and helps accelerate the roll-out of 5G. Additionally, these modular antennas ensure future flexibility with in-field upgrade paths in line with traffic growth. Solutions include interleaved passive active antennas and stacked passive active antennas.

Compact Active Antenna

The portfolio includes the Nokia unique Compact Active Antenna, which delivers the highest RF performance and efficiency, in an extremely compact and easy to deploy form-factor, making it ideal for dense-urban locations where site space is often limited but require the highest performance.
