Press Release
-
Family of ultra-broadband transceivers and
any-to any carrier aggregation to reach even 20 Gbps for 5G
microwave transport
-
Expanded optical and
IP products purpose-built for 5G fronthaul and
edge cloud deployments support 25Gbps speeds
-
25G PON proof of concept
shows extreme throughput for cost-effective network
densification
20 February 2019
Espoo, Finland - In advance of
Mobile World Congress, Nokia today announces a raft of enhancements
to its Anyhaul transport portfolio that help operators prepare
their networks for 5G by delivering throughput speeds of up to 25
Gbps to base stations. The launches span
microwave, optical, IP and broadband technologies within a carrier
Software Defined Networking (SDN) transport architecture. This
simplifies the integration of transport with cloud-based radio
access and core networks, thereby enabling an automated
end-to-end 5G network slicing and service provisioning
system.
Nokia Anyhaul is the industry's most extensive
range of transport solutions. These solutions can be rapidly and
dynamically provisioned to support the massive connectivity,
extreme low latency and very high throughput demands of 5G
services. Programmability and automation dynamically create
transport network slices to quickly and cost-effectively match
diverse application and user needs with end-to-end service delivery
guarantees.
The Nokia Anyhaul portfolio enables operators to
deploy the optimal mix of transport technologies to create a
flexible fabric that matches their unique network and business
needs.

A new release of the Nokia
Wavence microwave portfolio supports carrier aggregation to
combine frequency bands in the traditional uWave or mmWave
frequencies or even with existing third-party microwaves to achieve
5G-ready microwave throughput beyond 10 Gbps. The 2+0 E-Band
systems ensure 20 Gbps throughput, as a single radio can provide 10
Gbps with the new 2 GHz channel bandwidth. These E-Band
ultra-broadband radios are ready to be deployed in small form
factor hardware variants to provide fiber-like backhauling for
small cells. The Wavence family includes a new compact 5G-ready
transceiver called UBT-C for optimal last mile
connections.

The new Nokia 1830 Versatile
WDM Module (VWM) Translation Line Unit (TLU)-200 provides high density
wavelength translation at 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps speeds. Purpose-built
for Cloud RAN and Edge Cloud requirements, it simplifies operations
and improves reliability of fronthaul connectivity for 4G Common
Public Radio Interface (CPRI)/Open Base Station Architecture
Initiative (OBSAI) and 5G eCPRI data.

A new, compact interconnect router, the
Nokia 7250 IXR-e, is purpose-built to support
5G and edge cloud requirements at or near base stations with
1/10/25/100 GE interfaces. The 7250 IXR-e features a compact
architecture with efficient cooling and optimized space efficiency
for minimal installation costs. It complements the previously
released 7250 IXR-R6, which also supports 5G requirements and
1/10/25/100 GE interfaces.

A proof of concept of Nokia
Broadband Anyhaul 25G Passive Optical Network (PON)
demonstrates the viability of building on existing fiber
infrastructure to offer 25 Gbps speeds. Co-existing with 2.5G and
10G PON technologies, 25G PON enables more radio access sites to be
connected on the same fiber to reduce costs. Nokia successfully
trialed 25G PON proof of concept with T-1 operators in North
America and Japan in January 2019.
Jimmy Yu, Vice President at
Dell'Oro Group, said:
"Mobile backhaul has always been done with a variety of transport
technologies to balance the needs of performance, time, and
economics. This will continue with 5G, and for this reason,
operators will need an assortment of transport
technologies-microwave, optical, IP and PON-that suit their unique
requirements in 5G fronthaul and backhaul. The rollout of 5G has
just started this year and if our predictions are correct, demand
for 5G backhaul transport systems (not including fiber) will begin
ramping in a year's time and surpass $1 billion of annual sales in
the following two years."
Phil Twist, VP of Networks
Marketing and Communications, at Nokia said: "Our Anyhaul
portfolio is a key element of the Nokia 5G Future X architecture,
which equips our customers to take advantage of the promise of this
next generation of network technology. Nokia Anyhaul has been
deployed globally and is now being selected in countries such as
the US, Japan, China, and South Korea where we are helping the
fast-movers transform to 5G. The expertise and invaluable best
practices we gain will further simplify and reduce risk for other
operators as they move to 5G."
