Nokia to expand development and deployment of 5G FIRST as industry interest grows
This article has been supplied.
- Clear interest for 5G mobility applications already emerging from operators, notably in markets like the US, China, Japan and South Korea
- 5G mobility standard integrated into the Nokia 5G FIRST end-to-end solution
- Trialing of rapidly evolving 5G technology and commercial applications as market appetite points to meaningful rollouts in 2019
- Call to make available spectrum at low-, mid- and high-frequency bands for 5G
Espoo, Finland - Meeting growing customer interest in 5G, Nokia is broadening its focus into multiple areas of early 5G mobility use cases, including enhanced mobile broadband and ultra-reliable, ultra-low latency communications.
Nokia will push for accelerated 3GPP industry standardization while building on early customer experiences with its Nokia 5G FIRST end-to-end solution, launched in February at Mobile World Congress.
With clear interest for 5G mobility applications already emerging from operators, notably in markets like the U.S., China, Japan and South Korea, Nokia will implement early 5G specifications, enhancing 5G FIRST with the 3GPP 5G Phase I protocol.
This 5G NR (New Radio) air interface standard, which is due at the beginning of 2018, is designed to support a wide variety of 5G devices and services.
Nokia will continue to evolve and expand 5G FIRST as an end-to-end solution, designed to drive broader market adoption of 5G, via both mobility and fixed applications, as well as testing multiple 5G use cases.
The company is building on extensive field experience already gained with Nokia 5G FIRST, which has generated valuable insights into areas such as:
- Use of radio propagation in higher frequencies
- Massive MIMO and beamforming
- Integration with existing networks versus standalone implementations
The use of small cells in 5G deployments
