Available in Q3 2024, Nokia expands its 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) portfolio with a new outdoor receiver and Wi-Fi-7 indoor gateway. Tailored for North America, these solutions support various 4G and 5G bands, including CBRS, aiming to bridge connectivity gaps in the region and easily connect consumers across rural, suburban, and urban environments.
Omdia forecasted that the number of FWA subscribers in North America is projected to increase from 11.6 million in 2023 to 25 million by 2028, and Nokia’s innovations are catering to this demand.
To help operators simplify and streamline installation, customers can access a simple, user-friendly mobile app that helps identify the optimal location to install the Nokia FWA receiver and gateway.
New Nokia FastMile Solutions
The new Nokia FastMile 5G Receiver features high-gain antennas (up to 10 dBi) in a compact design that can be self-installed by the consumer on the outside of a window, wall, balcony, or pole.
With 4 carrier aggregation and up to 300MHz of bandwidth, the 5G receiver maximizes throughput in locations with weak signals.
Dirk Verhaegen, VP of Broadband Devices at Nokia, said, “Using Fixed Wireless Access to connect end customers to fast internet access requires more than just one type of device. Nokia’s FastMile solutions provide operators with options, bringing fast, reliable broadband to people no matter where they live—whether it's in bustling cities, quiet suburbs, or even remote rural areas.”
On the other hand, Nokia’s new FastMile indoor 5G Gateway 12 drastically improves capacity and coverage by up to 35% using high gain antennas (up to 8 dBi) and 8 receiver antennas.
The gateway comes with up to 200MHz of spectrum support to enable high-speed broadband access over the 5G network. It also utilizes tri-band Wi-Fi 7 to extend 5G speeds throughout the home.
The FastMile 5G Gateway 12 is powered by Nokia’s Corteca software, which supports value-added applications embedded in the device, cloud-based Wi-Fi optimization, and Wi-Fi device management based on open industry standards and EasyMesh.
