In addition, a new remote 5G pico radio headend for Nokia's AirScale indoor radio system enables an upgrade of indoor coverage to 5G without replacing installed hardware, even in complex buildings such as hospitals and shopping malls.

Ubiquitous 5G connectivity requires the deployment of high-band mmWave for ultra-high capacity but limited coverage, and the deployment of lower bands for wider coverage with lower capacity. As operators densify their networks to meet the extreme capacity requirements of a variety of use cases, deploying the right small cell technology is critical to ensuring reliable 5G performance.

The new 5W AirScale mmWave radio supports both the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands, providing high capacity for the most congested locations.
This compact, high-power cell offers a range of deployment options for easy installation.
It enables 180-degree, 360-degree, and multi-band deployments to provide flexible coverage that meets the challenges of mmWave radio signal attenuation.
Support for eCPRI connectivity to a distributed data center provides high-capacity support.
It can be flexibly configured to support baseband unit functionality using a compact, modular component.

The new 5G remote pico radio headend supports sub-6 GHz to provide 5G coverage and capacity in busy indoor locations.
Operators can upgrade existing installations to 5G simply by connecting the 5G remote pico radio heads directly to the AirScale Smart Hub and daisy-chaining them with existing legacy remote pico radio heads.
It can be deployed in an existing distributed antenna system.
High output power of 4 x 250 mW provides wide coverage.
The new dual-port Ethernet extender allows the remote pico radio heads to be located up to 200 m from the Smart Hub for greater deployment flexibility.
