Nokia AirScale Base Station

An integral element of Nokia AirScale Radio Access, the AirScale Base Station offers a smooth and flexible journey towards 5G and Cloud connectivity. And when you need to evolve to different radio access technologies or network architectures to meet future demands, it's ready too.

Flexible, capable, lean, efficient - it sounds like a mobile operator's wish list for a base station. And that is exactly what the Nokia AirScale Base Station delivers.

Working with any radio access technology, the base station offers an easy route to 5G and cloud, while also providing all the capacity and connectivity you will need as your traffic grows. Multiband, compact and easy to install at a wide choice of sites, AirScale Base Station ensures your network can serve customers without delay.

Already using Nokia Flexi Base Station? AirScale Base Station is fully compatible, as well as being ready for the next evolution in your network. Nokia AirScale changes the rules for how to build networks.

Flexible

Need to use GSM, WCDMA, FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, LTE-A Pro and 5G? AirScale Base Station can work with them all - it has an unmatched ability to run all technologies simultaneously in the same cell and also combines two to three bands in a single radio. All the technologies are defined by software, making it the ideal Single RAN base station.

It supports LTE-A Pro features and is ideal for TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE convergence. As well as being compatible with existing Nokia Flexi Base Station solutions, protecting your investment, AirScale Base Station is ready to support you however you decide to evolve your network.

The Nokia AirScale System Module is ready for any network architecture. It is crafted for interior installations, providing the best possible integration density for Centralized RAN applications.

On the other hand, in outdoor distributed RAN applications, the ability to support four radio access technologies simultaneously and its 5G readiness are vital. AirScale Base Station meets all needs.

Capable

As traffic continues to boom, this base station can keep pace. AirScale provides ten times more capacity than previous generation equipment with the industry's best-in-class baseband capacity per module. And you can keep adding modules, with no limit to cell capacity and no site switches or routers needed.

3D floating pools, CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point) and LTE Carrier Aggregation floating pools, and enhancements from Cloud RAN, contribute to unlimited cell capacity and connectivity. What's more, these cells can be of any size, from small RRHs to large macro units.

In addition, integrated PIM cancellation and high data rate fronthaul connections with IQ compression mean lowest churn for operators because subscribers get the top quality connectivity they expect.
