China Mobile and Nokia launch industry-first commercially ready 5G hybrid indoor radio solutionPress Release
6 December 2018 The ability to leverage both active and passive indoor distribution technologies enables the delivery of intelligent operations and maintenance services, making it easier to monitor, locate and correct any disconnected elements. The new services enabled include weak coverage analysis, indoor positioning, traffic flow analysis, easy expansion and elastic scalability. In a shopping mall, the location services can enable functions such as remote security monitoring and the ability to send shoppers information about busy locations to avoid congestion. Additionally, the integration of third-party services such as geofencing and hot-spot identification will enable retailers to send coupons and store information to customers in a mall who have opted in to the service. Nokia and China Mobile Research Institute are showcasing the innovative system at the 6th China Mobile Global Partners Conference from December 6 to 8. During 2019, the companies plan to conduct an interactive live demo which will showcase how the monitoring capabilities of the solution can be used to deliver operational efficiencies. Zhang Xinwang, Senior Researcher at China Mobile Research Institute, said: "China Mobile is committed to delivering the best user experience for mobile applications empowered by innovative technologies. Our collaborations with Nokia Shanghai Bell, along with the innovations jointly achieved, will help us maintain the leading position in 5G coverage and capacity while effectively lowering implementation costs." Chang Jiang, Chief Technology Officer of Customer Operations at Nokia Shanghai Bell, said: "Nokia is committed to working closely with China Mobile as a long-term technology partner, and the launch of the innovative hybrid system is a strong testament to our work. As a leader in 5G, Nokia will continue to build on its technology momentum to help China Mobile evolve its network to meet its business and consumer customers' increasing demands in the 5G world."
