Fronthaul

February 11, 2016

Nokia has expanded its mobile fronthaul solution with new 1830 Versatile WDM Module (VWM) optical platforms, allowing operators to accelerate centralized RAN architectures. Adoption of centralized RAN has been hindered by an inability to deploy fronthaul networks in a cost-effective, easy to operate and scalable way, with high enough performance to quickly transfer massive amounts of traffic between the remote radio heads and centralized baseband equipment. Nokia’s 1830 VWM portfolio removes these barriers with a cost-effective platform able to deliver the scale, ease of operation and performance needed to make fronthaul networks viable in large centralized RAN deployments.
