Nokia shows how 4.9G technology will reduce network latency on the path to 5G at #MWCS17
June 28 2017 - 3:01AM
- Nokia lowers network latency to less than two milliseconds
using 4.9G technology with AirScale base station at Mobile World
Congress Shanghai 2017
- Nokia's evolution of 4G/LTE will deliver faster network
response times in support of applications such as 'Industry 4.0'
automation and autonomous cars
- Shows how operators can complement initial 5G deployments with
high-performance LTE technology
28 June 2017
Shanghai, China - Nokia is to demonstrate the role
high-performance 4G technology will play on the path to 5G to
ensure continuity-of-service when 5G technology is deployed. At
Mobile World Congress Shanghai, Nokia will show its AirScale base
station working with 4.9G technology to reduce network latency to
less than two milliseconds, bringing performance closer to the
latency levels 5G is expected to deliver.
5G will enable new applications, such as 'Industry 4.0'
industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, remote healthcare and
immersive virtual reality entertainment, each requiring massive
bandwidth and extremely low levels of network latency. Initial
deployments of 5G technology will be in highly populated megacity
centers, where demands on existing LTE network resources from
consumers and enterprises will remain high. By moving the
performance of LTE networks closer to a 5G experience using Nokia's
4.9G technology, operators can support these higher-bandwidth
applications on the path to 5G while ensuring continuity of service
once 5G is initially deployed.
In its demonstration at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, Nokia
will employ 4.9G to reduce network latency to less than two
milliseconds using a feature that allows transmission time
intervals to be shortened by 86 percent. This will leverage the
Nokia AirScale base station, which will allow operators to support
both 4.9G and 5G technology in a single unit to maximize speed and
capacity as they migrate to 5G.
Shiv Putcha, Associate Director, IDC Asia Pacific said:
"With the move from 3G to LTE networks, shortened latency
times were crucial for an improved mobile broadband user
experience. With this demonstration, Nokia has set a new benchmark
for LTE network latency performance, bringing it closer to the 5G
levels needed for industry and enterprise applications. This
will allow operators to begin support for new applications and
deliver service continuity as operators start rolling out 5G
networks."
Tero Peltola, head of the LTE business line at Nokia,
said : "We are committed to helping operators evolve their
networks in the most effective way, allowing them to anticipate and
meet demands with higher performance where and when it is needed.
We continue to evolve our 4G offering with 4.5G Pro and 4.9G
technologies, and with this network latency demonstration we can
show operators how they could use LTE to deliver higher-bandwidth
industry and enterprise applications to more customers on their
path to 5G."
