Nokia Habrok AirScale massive MIMO radios

Nokia has announced the launch of Habrok, its latest generation of cutting-edge AirScale massive MIMO radios for all mobile operator and enterprise networks. The radios are powered by Nokia’s state-of-the-art ReefShark system-on-chip (SoC) and are available in both 32 TRX (Habrok 32) and 64 TRX (Habrok 64) versions, covering all massive MIMO use cases and deployment scenarios.

Designed for complete spectrum flexibility and network performance, initially supporting band n78, both devices support high radio frequency bandwidth, 200 MHz occupied bandwidth (OBW) and 400 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW), enabling the use of fragmented spectrum allocations and network sharing cases. The sleek, lightweight Habrok 64 is approximately 30% lighter than its predecessors at only 24 kg, making it easier to install and faster to deploy, accelerating 5G network deployment.

The radios offer scalable capacity for single- and multi-carrier performance, featuring the latest technologies to deliver high radio frequency output power. They are optimised to deliver best-in-class capacity and network performance while enabling efficient deployment and operation. Their low power consumption (30% less than their predecessors) helps to improve energy efficiency.
