Meeting Rising Mobile Data Demands with Smarter, More Efficient Radio Solutions
Global mobile data consumption continues to surge, but 5G adoption remains uneven—particularly across emerging markets in the Middle East & Africa. As LTE still carries more than half of all mobile traffic, operators are under mounting pressure to increase capacity, improve quality, and manage rising urban demand without adding costly new sites.
This whitepaper examines Nokia’s High-Capacity Multi-Beam Antenna solution, developed in collaboration with PROSE Technologies, which delivers up to 5× more data on the same spectrum compared to standard LTE deployments. Based on field results, the solution enhances spectral efficiency, improves SINR and RSRP performance, lowers power consumption, and offers a scalable pathway for operators transitioning from 4G to 5G..
Topics Covered
-
Capacity Challenges in LTE Networks: Why FDD mid-band spectrum is strained across developing regions
