Nokia introduced a Fixed Wireless Access receiver for the North American market that uses a high gain antenna to deliver high speeds over long distances. The FastMile 5G receiver, which mounts to the outside of a subscriber’s home, supports a broad range of 4G and 5G bands including CBRS in either 4G or 5G as well as c-band. It also supports up to 4CA NR carrier aggregation meaning operators can bundle bands for higher throughput. The outside receiver is teamed with an inside Wi-Fi router, such as Nokia’s Beacon G6.2 which has managed mesh Wi-Fi capability to deliver strong signals throughout the home.
Design features:
- Directional antenna design, up to 18dBi gain for sparsely populated areas
- 3GPP release 16 compliant
- Supports all North American 5G mid and low-bands and 4G bands
- Supports NSA and SA
- B48/n48 band for unlicensed CBRS application
- Support for Wall and Pole Mount Options
- Includes modem and high gain antennas in one hardened IP66 compliant outdoor receiver
- 2.5Gbps Ethernet connection the home network includes PoE to power the outdoor device
- The solution is complimented by Nokia Beacon G6.2 as the indoor router providing mesh Wi-Fi 6 and integrated PoE.
