Nokia has announced that it has been selected as a major supplier by Reliance Jio to supply 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment from its AirScale portfolio countrywide in a multi-year deal. Reliance Jio has one of the world’s largest Radio Access Network footprints.
Under the contract, Nokia will supply equipment from its AirScale portfolio, including base stations, high-capacity 5G Massive MIMO antennas, and Remote Radio Heads (RRH) to support different spectrum bands, and self-organising network software.
As per Nokia, its “AirScale Osprey portfolio of 8T8R radios uses the same, latest Nokia ReefShark SoC technology as the new massive MIMO antennas. The new AirScale Osprey 8 remote radio with beamforming, delivers a total RF power output of 320 Watts across several operating modes. Combined with a low weight compact form-factor and multiple mounting options this high-performance radio offers deployment flexibility across a wide range of use cases.”
Reliance Jio plans to deploy a 5G standalone network which will interwork with its 4G network. As per Reliance Jio, the network will enable it to deliver advanced 5G services such as massive machine-to-machine communications, network slicing and ultra-low-latency.
Pekka Lundmark, president and CEO at Nokia, stated: “This is a significant win for Nokia in an important market and a new customer with one of the largest RAN footprints in the world. This ambitious project will introduce millions of people across India to premium 5G services, enabled by our industry-leading AirScale portfolio. We are proud that Reliance Jio has placed its trust in our technology and we look forward to a long and productive partnership with them.”
