Nokia Labs invented massive MIMO, a key part of Sprint 5G strategy

Sprint’s approach to 5G isn’t just an approach to 5G. It’s also a handy way for the carrier to boost it’s LTE network. The carrier is doing this by deploying dual mode massive MIMO and its 2.5 GHz spectrum portfolio to support both generations of cellular at the same time.
As this work goes on, the carrier announced it will demonstrate a live connection over the dual mode Nokia radio during Mobile World Congress Americas in Los Angeles.
TODAY!!!

The companies are touting the demo as a “first in the U.S. live 5G NR system connection using a massive MIMO active antenna,” which can support channel widths up to 120 megahertz. The partners expect up to 3 Gbps peak downlink throughput.
“We’re excited,” Sprint Chief Technology Officer John Saw said ahead of the planned demo, which is said is a step toward plans to launch mobile 5G in the first half of 2019. “Because of our large spectrum holdings, Sprint is one of the only operators in the world with enough capacity to operate LTE and 5G simultaneously using massive MIMO and huge licensed channels of 100 megahertz of spectrum on the same radios.”

Sprint executives and their counterparts from T-Mobile US are currently working to get approval for a massive merger, which they say could significantly accelerate 5G deployment plans.

Sprint plans to launch its 5G mobile network in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.

Nokia’s Marc Rouanne, president of mobile networks, said massive MIMO “is playing a central role in 5G, which will allow Sprint to provide increased coverage, reliability and speed across its nationwide network.”

New Antenna Plus OptumX™ Designed to Make Machine-to-Machine Communications Faster and EasierAirgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of advanced antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless networking across a broad range of devices and markets, including connected home, enterprise, automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the release of its OptumX antenna. The OptumX is the first 'shot-glass' MIMO LTE antenna of its kind, delivering industry leading performance in a significantly smaller footprint than competitive solutions.

yes
quite well bid, cant buy many online now

[mad foetus] 12/9/2018 14:01

This is becoming a pattern. Afternoon strength coming, close above 23.

A company I did some work for a couple of years ago had some similar characteristics to FTC. Its turnover was £50m. Number of employees ~200 and it had some IP (engineering). The IP was just practical solutions which had been developed and patented.

An american client company bought it last year for £260m because of the IP.

Now look at Filtronic. The advantage here is that Filtronic outsource manufacturing and can therefore upscale production relatively easily. They have the IP and also rapid scalability.

Nokia have stated that its 2018 performance (and following years) will be dependant on being able to scale up with the increasing demand. A case of how well they can take advantage of the huge potential revenue stream that is on its way.

There will be caveats in place to determine how the funds will be used.

[tmellor17] 11/9/2018 21:44

Does it seem too obvious for Nokia to use a chunk of that cash to just buy us out?

[kazoom] 11/9/2018 21:22

Thanks pietradura - good news then (assuming FTC is providing the kit for this contract) - the EIB new is definitely old though.

[pietradura] 11/9/2018 21:18

Its todays news re sprint taking Nokia Mmimo

6 hours ago after UK market closed




Its coming a lot sooner than many people thought.

I think we could have a very good day tomorrow!

[kazoom] 11/9/2018 21:16

pietradura,

Careful - I know that article is dated today, but unless I've missed something it is actually reporting on news that is 2 weeks old. Only just skimmed it so I could be wrong, but certainly the EIB loan for Nokia is old news.
