AirScale Massive MIMO radios

Powered by a new generation of Nokia ReefShark System on Chip (SoC), these Massive MIMO radios support high bandwidth, deliver high RF output power, are more energy efficient and simplify deployment. Characteristics that both accelerate the rollout of 5G as well as lowering total cost of ownership.

These new Massive MIMO radios support high RF bandwidths, up to 400 MHz, supporting the use of fragmented spectrum or the implementation of radio access network sharing.

Available in both 64TRX and 32TRX configurations, these industry leading Massive MIMO radios are the ideal choice for all 5G network deployments, delivering high-performance, high-efficiency and simplified site solutions.

Nokia's modular Interleaved Passive Active Antenna (IPAA+) cleverly interleaves the antenna elements of a high performance AirScale Massive MIMO radio with the antenna elements of a multiband passive antenna.

This results in very neat site solutions using fewer boxes and simplifying deployment, which is especially useful on sites with limited space. Additionally, this can also lower site related costs as well as helping to accelerate the roll-out of 5G. The IPAA+ uses the same Massive MIMO radio and passive antenna products that would be installed separately, enabling both immediate and future flexibility, with in-field upgrade paths in line with traffic growth.
