By demonstrating AirScale's ability to support both low and high bands, operators will be able to provide wide area coverage and indoor coverage from day one of 5G operations without the need for complex network reconfigurations.
5G promises a significant shift in connectivity, delivering lower latency, greater spectral efficiency, and increased energy efficiency for both networks and devices. The range of applications enabled by 5G—from multi-access needs in sports stadiums and improved connectivity in dense urban environments to Industry 4.0 applications and fixed wireless access—will require high-band frequencies (millimeter wave and centimeter wave) as well as the evolution of existing low-band frequencies.
5G applications, such as connecting IoT devices, penetrating indoor environments, and providing coverage over large areas, require low-band frequencies. The ability to use these bands has recently been verified in tests at Nokia's 5G labs in Finland, and includes the 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 850 MHz frequencies.
