Nokia: selected by Softbank and KDDI in Japan
(CercleFinance.com) - Nokia has been selected by Japanese mobile operators SoftBank and KDDI as one of the suppliers to deploy Japan's shared RAN.
The deployment will provide 5G services to SoftBank and KDDI subscribers in the country. Nokia will install a multi-operator radio access network (MORAN), which will allow both companies to share the RAN, while keeping core networks separate.
As part of the agreement, Nokia will supply its latest AirScale products, including baseband and radio platforms. Nokia will also provide its new generation of plug-in cards based on the ReefShark system-on-chip to increase the capacity of the AirScale baseband. They offer up to eight times the throughput of previous generations.
