27 July 2020
Chicago and Dallas – Nokia and U.S. Cellular today
announced an agreement to add 5G mmWave capabilities in the 24 GHz
and 28 GHz spectrum bands. U.S. Cellular will deploy
Nokia’s award-winning AirScale portfolio, with Cloud RAN
capabilities, to provide enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) 5G
mmWave.
The Nokia AirFrame open edge solution for Cloud RAN will also be
included in the deployments, enabling a virtualized RAN that
provides scalable benefits such as, significant Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) reduction through simplification automation and
operation efficiency gains, as well as through the support of open
ecosystems.
To support U.S. Cellular’s advanced IoT and enterprise
customers, the company has also opted to include Nokia’s Worldwide
IoT Network Grid (WING) solution as a deployment component,
which allows the scaling of 5G IoT services faster and more
cost-effectively.
U.S. Cellular is beginning its multi-year deployment of 5G
mmWave now, with commercial availability planned for 2021.
Mike Irizarry, CTO, U.S. Cellular, said: “U.S.
Cellular and Nokia are taking bold steps forward together in the
realm of 5G modernization and connectivity. With 5G mmWave
technology from Nokia, we can provide our customers with the
leading-edge capabilities of high performance, ultra-low latency
5G. By readying our network with these key foundational network
elements, we can offer an even wider range of communications
services that enhance our customers’ wireless experience.”
Ricky Corker, President of Customer Operations for
Americas, Nokia, said: “We are pleased to extend our
relationship with U.S. Cellular with 5G mmWave technology and
enable the company to deliver to its consumer and enterprise
customers exciting new 5G services that require lightning
performance with no discernable latency. This is a big leap forward
in the provision of fast, secure and reliable networks in the
Western, Mid-West and Mid-Atlantic regions.”
