Nokia Triples TD-LTE-Advanced Speeds and Boosts Capacity to Bridge the Digital Divide and Prepare for 5G

Nokia will showcase its innovative TD-LTE technology at the Mobile World Congress, the world’s largest gathering for the mobile industry, which is scheduled for 29th June – 1st July, 2016  in Shanghai.

The company’s new tech will enable operators to efficiently leverage 4G networks to meet ever-growing data demand and connect undeserved areas of the world.

With subscriber demand for higher-definition, high-bandwidth video and other data services rising, and four billion people still without Internet connectivity across the globe, Nokia is developing TD-LTE-based innovations that will allow operators to extend the reach, capacity and speeds of their 4G networks and prepare for 5G.[related-posts]

During the event, Nokia is to showcase its latest TD-LTE-Advanced and TD-LTE-Advanced Pro offerings including:

  • An industry-first demonstration of how 4G TD-LTE operators can leverage existing Wi-Fi access points to deliver the highest quality of experience for subscribers with compatible devices. 
  • Nokia FastMile, which extends 4G technology in unused high frequency spectrum to provide high-speed broadband to residential customers in underserved rural and suburban areas. A comprehensive end-to-end solution, Nokia FastMile offers guaranteed speeds and easy-to-install residential devices, providing higher capacity by utilizing advanced antenna topology and interference mitigation technologies.
  • Demonstrations of the industry’s first Distributed Beamforming technology which enables operators to triple the download and upload capacity of a Nokia TD-LTE-A ‘Supercell’ (a group of cells served by a single baseband unit) to increase cell edge speeds compared to stand-alone LTE cells by removing inter-cell interference.
