These baseband boards are optimized for 5G standalone architecture as part of Nokia's AirScale modular and scalable baseband solution, which supports long-term network evolution while ensuring investment protection. Nokia's AirScale baseband is O-RAN compatible and will be deployed with Nokia's own and third-party radio products. It will also work in future hybrid networks with Cloud RAN.

Introducing Levante and Lodos – Next-Generation Baseband Capacity Boards
Nokia introduces Levante, a 4G/5G capacity board that delivers ultra-high performance. Levante doubles the number of supported Massive MIMO cells while reducing power consumption by up to 60 percent. It also offers exponential scalability, enabling site configurations up to three times larger. Nokia also adds Lodos to its baseband portfolio, a high-performance 4G/5G capacity board that offers enhanced scalability and reduces power consumption by up to 30 percent.

Introducing Ponente – Ultra-High-Performance Baseband Control Board
Nokia has also launched Ponente, an ultra-high-performance 2G-5G control board with extreme power efficiency. It supports increased traffic growth with up to 100 percent higher throughput capacity, delivering high-speed connectivity on-site. The speaker also reduces energy consumption by up to 80 percent and provides future-proof site evolution to 5G Standalone and 5G-Advanced, as well as spectrum reallocation efficiency. The boards integrate Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology, which uses hardware-processed security keys, more secure than software-processed ones.

with Pandion
, Nokia’s latest generation of FDD remote radio heads, supporting up to three FDD bands in a single, optimized form factor. Nokia also announced Shikra, which complements Nokia’s broad portfolio with cutting-edge small cells for both outdoor and indoor scenarios.

Introducing MantaRay, Nokia’s New Portfolio of Network Management and Optimization Solutions.
Nokia has also announced the launch of MantaRay, which brings the power of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) to support intelligent, efficient, and cognitive RAN operations. The MantaRay portfolio includes MantaRay Network Management, Nokia’s future platform for purpose-built RAN, cloud RAN, and core network management, which can scale from a single server for small businesses to large-scale deployments; MantaRay SON (Self-Organizing Networks) with advanced AI and cognitive capabilities to lead the transformation of mobile networks; and MantaRay RIC (Nokia’s O-RAN compliant near real-time RAN Intelligent Controller), which has the potential to become a key enabler for RAN programmability. Nokia is also launching MantaRay Energy, which combines Nokia’s capabilities for optimizing radio access network energy consumption with AI and ML.
