27 February, 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia and T-Mobile are to roll out a
nationwide 5G multi-band network in the United States using the
commercial Nokia 5G solution. Nokia will also further
advance T-Mobile's existing 4G LTE network, providing advanced
radio access network (RAN) support for 4G and 5G
subscribers.
Nokia will begin building the network during the second quarter
of 2018, completing the deployment during 2020. By the end of this
year, the 5G RAN will be deployed using both 600MHz and 28GHz
mmWave AirScale solutions for the delivery of multi-gigabit speeds
and ultra-low latency in some of the most heavily populated areas
of the country, including Dallas. This will enable T-Mobile to
introduce innovative services for its customers at home, work and
on the move.
Deployment of the 5G network in the 600MHz and 28GHz mmWave
spectrum will be compliant with 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) standards
supported by the Nokia AirScale radio platform, powered by the new
ReefShark chipset family and Nokia's cloud-native core portfolio.
Nokia's 5G Acceleration Services will assist T-Mobile in launching
5G services in early 2019 in select key cities.
Neville Ray, chief technology officer of T-Mobile, said:
"T-Mobile customers will get 5G in more places than anyone else.
Working together with Nokia, the Un-carrier will be the first to
roll out a nationwide 5G network. Our customers already have the
fastest LTE network, and it will work simultaneously with 5G to
bring even faster speeds."
Nokia's President and Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Suri
said: "We are excited to work with T-Mobile for their
groundbreaking nationwide 5G rollout. Nokia's 5G solution combines
our high-capacity New Radio, Core and SDN controlled 'anyhaul'
transport and software, and incorporates innovations such as the
new in-house silicon ReefShark chipset to deliver a new level of
network performance. 5G is happening now, and no company is better
placed to deliver than Nokia."
