Nokia AirScale Base Station
An integral element of Nokia AirScale Radio Access, the AirScale Base Station oers a smooth and exible journey towards 5G and Cloud connectivity. And when you need to evolve to dierent radio access technologies or network architectures to meet future demands, it’s ready too.Flexible, capable, lean, ecient – it sounds like a mobile operator’s wish list for a base station. And that is exactly what the Nokia AirScale Base Station delivers. Working with any radio access technology, the base station oers an easy route to 5G and cloud, while also providing all the capacity and connectivity you will need as your trac grows. Multiband, compact and easy to install at a wide choice of sites, AirScale Base Station ensures your network can serve customers without delay.Already using Nokia Flexi Base Station? AirScale Base Station is fully compatible, as well as being ready for the next evolution in your network. Nokia AirScale changes the rules for how to build networks.

Flexible
Need to use GSM, WCDMA, FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, LTE-A Pro and 5G? AirScale Base Station can work with them all – it has an unmatched ability to run all technologies simultaneously in the same cell and also combines two to three bands in a single radio. All the technologies are dened by software, making it the ideal Single RAN base station.It supports LTE-A Pro features and is ideal for TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE convergence. As well as being compatible with existing Nokia Flexi Base Station solutions, protecting your investment, AirScale Base Station is ready to support you however you decide to evolve your network. The Nokia AirScale System Module is ready for any network architecture. It is crafted for interior installations, providing the best possible integration density for Centralized RAN applications. On the other hand, in outdoor distributed RAN applications,the ability to support four radio access technologies simultaneously and its 5G readiness are vital. AirScale Base Station meets all needs.
Capable
As trac continues to boom, this base station can keep pace. AirScale provides ten times more capacity than previous generation equipment with the industry’s best-in-class baseband capacity per module. And you can keep adding modules, with no limit to cell capacity and no site switches or routers needed.3D oating pools, CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point) and LTE Carrier Aggregation oating pools, and enhancements from Cloud RAN, contribute to unlimited cell capacity and connectivity. What’s more, these cells can be of any size, from small RRHs to large macro units.In addition, integrated PIM cancellation and high data rate fronthaul connections with IQ compression mean lowest churn for operators because subscribers get the top quality connectivity they expect.
Lean
Ease of installation for base stations is another vital requirement and the AirScale’s small and lean size ts this criterion perfectly. AirScale base station is up to 60 percent smaller than earlier generation products making it the leanest multiband, multistandard and multimount product on the market.AirScale System Module oers ten times more capacity in the familiar 3U Nokia form factor making it the market leader. AirScale multiband radios make the radio system and antenna lines up to 60 percent smaller and simpler, while the radio units are delivered with integrated OneClip zero bolt installation kit to reduce radio unit installation time by up to 66 percent. Single radio platform supports all possible installation options like antenna integration (Triple/multiband RAS), book-, wall-, tower- and pole (horizontal and vertical) mounted installation.
Ecient
Why use energy when there is no trac to serve? The AirScale Base Station ensures you minimize energy consumption during zero trac conditions. Take the Power Prioritizer feature and the new baseband power management software which mutes unused processing sections.Envelope Tracking cuts radio unit energy use by ensuring the power ampliers work at optimum eciency in all trac conditions. Optional Eden-NET Energy management module ensures a greener tomorrow.The result is a base station up to 60 percent more ecient than conventional solutions, permitting broader use of renewable energy sources, like solar power.With single, common software, it takes site simplication to the next level. What’s more, it further enhances eciency with the in-build hexa resiliency that also enables highest possible network availability.
