Nokia AirScale Base Station

Changes the way networks are built

Executive Summary

www.nokia.com
Meeting the challenges of IoT and 5G
The rapidly developing Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to lead to billions of devices
connected by 2025. Meanwhile, within a few years a vast range of new services and applications
will arise as 5G technologies become widespread.
Operators are being challenged to deliver extreme mobile broadband to provide new levels of
customer experience, to support huge numbers of simultaneously connected devices and to
ensure ultra-low latency connectivity. Flexibility in their operations will become essential and
ultra-high capacity networks of the future must meet the demand for telecom grade resiliency.
At the same time, growing environmental pressures are forcing operators to become more
energy efficient and reduce their carbon emissions.
With the radio network at the heart of their business, operators will need to deploy base station
sites that are simpler, more flexible, wideband and multi-band, multi-technology, energy
efficient and with lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

Unlimited capacity to meet any demand


Nokia AirScale Radio Access is a new-generation solution that will help operators meet all the
radio access network challenges they face today and in the coming years.

Nokia AirScale – full radio access


Nokia AirScale Base Station is part of a complete radio access that comprises:
 Base Station:
‒ RF Module
‒ Remote Radio Head
‒ Radio Antenna System
‒ AirScale System Module Indoor
‒ AirScale System Module Outdoor
‒ Power Rectifier
‒ Power Battery
‒ Power Prioritizer
 Cloud Base Station Server on AirFrame Data Center Solution
 Wi-Fi Access including cloud-based Wi-Fi Controller and access points
 Common Software

An integral component of the new AirScale Radio Access is Nokia AirScale Base Station. Providing
operators with a smooth and flexible journey towards 5G and cloud connectivity, AirScale Base
Stations support all radio technologies (GSM, WCDMA, FDD LTE,TDD LTE, LTE-A Pro and are
5G-ready) and network architectures (Distributed RAN, Centralized RAN and Cloud RAN).
AirScale Base Stations offer 10 Gbps throughput per system module which handles baseband
processing and control and includes fronthaul and backhaul interfaces. More capacity can
be implemented by chaining together an unlimited number of system modules. Furthermore,
AirScale Base Station can take advantage of additional baseband processing power available
from Cloud RAN, available with AirScale, for unlimited scalability.
Built-in redundancy of all units and interfaces (control, baseband, power supply,
synchronization, backhaul and fronthaul) creates Nokia’s hexa-resiliency capability. If a failure
occurs, the base station automatically switches over to its redundant capability, avoiding the
need for an urgent site visit by an engineer.
Efficient, lean and offering wideband and multi-band performance, AirScale Base Stations
are visually discreet, energy efficient and sustainable.
All this innovation is compatible with existing Nokia radio networks so operators can expand
their current networks with AirScale Base Stations and elements to make full and continued
use of their existing investments.

Ultra-lean, ultra-efficient for 50% lower TCO
The Nokia AirScale System Module has
ten times the performance of the previous
generation of Nokia base station. It is scalable:
simply add plug-in units to increase capacity as
needed. Further scaling is achieved by chaining
system modules without the need for any
additional hardware like site switches or
routers. Nokia AirScale System Module

Sitting at the heart of AirScale Base Station is new silicon technology designed by Nokia to
create software-defined system modules and radios that are ultra-lean and ultra-efficient,
all supported by common multi-radio software.
Leaner and simpler site solutions will enable operators to more easily adopt new bands, layers
and the use of higher order MIMO schemes. Nokia AirScale Radio meets this need by enabling
unparalleled multi-band operation with up to three bands integrated in a single radio unit. This
provides operators with more flexibility in network deployment, reduced installation complexity
for different bands at the same site and low TCO.
Integrated Passive Intermodulation (PIM) cancellation ensures the highest multi-band
performance for top network quality. CPRI with an IQ compression interface ensures less
hardware is needed while also being compatible with standard Nokia CPRI radios.
Deployment is simplified by the Nokia OneClip mounting and ‘slide and lock’ zero-bolt
installation with horizontal or vertical orientation on any site. Simple and compact mountings
reduce installation time by two thirds and cut the physical footprint by a factor of three.
Nokia’s ‘Zero Traffic - Zero Energy’ capability enables radio units to be switched off when there
is no traffic. Radio unit energy consumption can be further reduced by ensuring the power
amplifiers work at optimum efficiency under all traffic conditions. The optional Eden-NET Energy
management module ensures even more automation by adapting to fluctuating traffic patterns.
All of which adds up to a base station that is up to 60 percent more energy efficient than
conventional solutions, permitting broader use of renewable energy sources.
AirScale Base Station reduces site costs in other ways too, for example its compact size can lead
to lower site rental, while low wind loading means easier, less complex installation.
All of which adds up to 50 percent lower total cost of ownership.
