Product Description

Benefits of Nokia AZNA PN 473914A

High Capacity for 5G: As a massive MIMO unit with 64 Transmit (TX) and 64 Receive (RX) antennas, it provides significantly higher capacity compared to traditional macro radios, crucial for meeting the high data demands of 5G networks.
Enhanced Throughput and Data Rates: The large number of antenna elements enables advanced spatial multiplexing techniques, allowing for the transmission of multiple data streams simultaneously to a single user or multiple users, resulting in much higher data rates.
Improved Spectral Efficiency: mMIMO technology makes more efficient use of the available spectrum by focusing radio energy where it’s needed, allowing operators to serve more users and deliver more data within the same bandwidth.
Increased Coverage and Cell Edge Performance: Through advanced beamforming capabilities, the AZNA can direct radio signals more precisely towards users, improving signal strength and coverage, especially at the cell edges.
Lower Latency: The advanced processing power within the unit contributes to lower latency, a key requirement for many 5G applications like autonomous driving, industrial automation, and real-time gaming.
Energy Efficiency: Despite its high capacity and performance, AirScale mMIMO units are designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping operators manage power consumption and reduce operational costs.
Compact and Lightweight Design: Compared to earlier generations of mMIMO, the AZNA likely features a more compact and lighter design, facilitating easier and faster deployment on existing cell towers and rooftops.
Seamless Integration with AirScale Ecosystem: Being part of Nokia’s AirScale portfolio ensures seamless integration with other AirScale baseband units and software, simplifying network management and operation.
Support for Advanced 5G Features: It supports key 5G NR features like beamforming, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), and carrier aggregation, enabling operators to deliver advanced 5G services.
Future-Proofing: Designed to support the evolution of 5G and potentially future mobile technologies, ensuring a long lifespan and protecting investment.

Applications of Nokia AZNA PN 473914A (AirScale RRH 4T4R B40 160W)

The Nokia AZNA PN 473914A is an AirScale Remote Radio Head (RRH) specifically designed for operation on Band 40 (2300 MHz), a frequency band commonly used for Time Division Duplexing Long-Term Evolution (TDD-LTE) and increasingly for 5G New Radio (NR) TDD (n40). Its 4T4R configuration (4 Transmitters, 4 Receivers) and 160W output power make it suitable for various applications:

TDD-LTE Network Deployment: Its primary application is in deploying and expanding TDD-LTE networks on Band 40. This band offers significant capacity, making the AZNA ideal for increasing data rates and handling more users in areas with high traffic demand.
5G NR TDD (n40) Deployment: As 5G NR TDD networks are rolled out on the n40 band, the AZNA RRH can be utilized to provide the radio frequency transmission and reception capabilities for these next-generation networks.
Capacity Enhancement in Urban and Suburban Areas: The high capacity offered by TDD-LTE and 5G NR on Band 40, combined with the 4T4R MIMO capabilities of the AZNA, makes it well-suited for enhancing network capacity in densely populated urban and suburban environments.
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA): The characteristics of Band 40, along with the high power and MIMO capabilities of the AZNA, can be leveraged for Fixed Wireless Access deployments, providing high-speed internet to homes and businesses without the need for wired infrastructure.
Private LTE/5G Networks: For enterprises and industries looking to deploy their own private mobile networks, the AZNA RRH on Band 40 can provide the necessary coverage and capacity for various industrial IoT and enterprise applications.
Stadium and Hotspot Coverage: The high capacity and focused coverage capabilities of TDD-LTE/5G NR on Band 40 make the AZNA a good option for providing enhanced mobile services in high-density venues like stadiums, shopping malls, and transportation hubs.
Network Modernization: Operators upgrading their existing LTE networks and deploying 5G can utilize the AZNA on Band 40 to add a high-capacity TDD layer to their network.
Carrier Aggregation: The AZNA, operating on Band 40, can be used in conjunction with RRHs on other frequency bands to implement carrier aggregation, further increasing data rates and overall network performance.
