Nokia Unveils FastMile 5G Gateway for Fixed Wireless Using 4G or 5G

Nokia is introducing a new FastMile 5G Gateway, an indoor customer premises device that allows mobile operators upgrading their 4G LTE network to capture new fixed wireless access revenue while accelerating 5G rollouts, Nokia says.



It is worth noting that the fastidious insistence on 4G and 5G being completely distinct networks does not square with the overlap between the two platforms.  As John Strand notes, they share standards and technologies.  

FastMile 5G Gateway uses the same sub-6-GHz 5G that operators will use to upgrade their LTE grid, providing broader coverage of FWA and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services.

The gateway brings gigabit speeds to homes using 3GPP-compliant 5G New Radio (NR).

With carrier aggregation, the gateway improves performance and reliability by using the best 4G and 5G signals available.
