CommScope Collaborates with Nokia on Massive MIMO Integrated Antenna
CommScope
has collaborated with Nokia
to develop a Massive
MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) integrated antenna solution
that enables network densification in support of mobile data traffic
growth and the evolution to 5G.
The Massive MIMO beamforming antenna solution consists of a CommScope
dual-band, FDD-LTE (News - Alert) antenna integrated with two Nokia AirScale radios to
deliver 16T16R Massive MIMO in two bands simultaneously. This integrated
antenna solution will add capacity in both uplink and downlink and
provide coverage enhancement for 4.9G networks.
"The path to 5G includes evolving the current 4G network through
densification, virtualization and optimization to deliver an enhanced
mobile broadband experience," said Ben Cardwell, senior vice president,
CommScope Mobility Solutions. "The new Massive MIMO solution showcases
the synergies of combining Nokia's (News - Alert) radio expertise with CommScope's
advanced antenna technology."
Antenna technology is evolving with deployments today of 4xMIMO
with four streams of data transmitted and received. Massive MIMO is an
evolutionary leap forward that uses more elements to support multi-user
MIMO, beamforming and typically 8 or 16 streams to enable a major boost
in network capabilities. Massive MIMO substantially increases spectral
efficiency to deliver more network capacity and widercoverage and takes
LTE network performance to near 5G levels.
This new Massive MIMO beamforming antenna solution will be available in
mid-2018 for commercial deployment and will be on display in the
CommScope stand at Mobile
World Congress 2018 in Hall 2, stand 2J30.
