Irving, Texas - Nokia is to play an integral role in
T-Mobile's plans to launch nationwide 5G coverage in the United
States by 2020.
Forthcoming 5G networks will bring many benefits to service
providers and consumers, with exponential increases in bandwidth
and massive throughput, along with advancements in vertical
industries and new entrants - just a few of the myriad
possibilities of these next-generation networks.
T-Mobile's announced plans to utilize all of its spectrum
resources align strongly with Nokia's strategy of multi-radio
platforms and advanced antenna technologies. Specifically, this
will bring 5G radio air interface improvements (spectral efficiency
in particular) to low bands such as 600MHz, thus allowing for
enhanced coverage benefits. Additionally, Nokia will look to enable
the 5G network capabilities where 600MHz spectrum is the preferred
coverage layer.
One of the key benefits of 5G is enhanced mobile broadband that
will allow users to consume content when and where they desire.
Nokia, along with T-Mobile, will provide a multi-layer,
cross-spectrum blueprint for how the networks of the future will
come into existence.
Marc Rouanne, president of Mobile Networks business group for
Nokia, said: "Nokia and T-Mobile share a vision of
innovating in mobile networks to deliver real benefits to
consumers. This collaboration to maximize spectrum is a very
exciting development, and is a strong example of Nokia's commitment
to supporting its customers' ambitions to create new capabilities
to make 5G a reality, connecting everything to everything."
