Nokia bags 5G small cell deployment contract from Chunghwa Telecom

NEW DELHI: Finnish telecoms gear maker Nokia on Tuesday bagged a 5G small cell deal from China’s Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) to enable the operator in delivering a comprehensive 5G coverage.

Under the deal, Nokia will supply CHT with its AirScale indoor Radio (ASiR) solution for improved indoor coverage and capacity, as well as its AirScale micro RRH for outdoor and urban hot spots. The new deployments will complement the already existing base of more than 2,500 4G small cells, said Nokia.
