Nokia FastMile 5G receiver and 5G Gateway 7

Nokia has expanded its FastMile 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) portfolio with an outdoor receiver and indoor gateway with Wi-Fi 7 based on the latest available technology. The devices are designed to enable operators to conserve radio capacity and improve coverage of their FWA service, with studies indicating that operators can save as much as 60% of potentially wasted network capacity simply by placing the right device in the right location of the customer premise. This means using outdoor receivers where signals are weaker and indoor gateways where signals are strong.

The FastMile 5G receiver is suitable for locations that require optimum use of the weak signals that are available. It features high gain antennas (up to 10 dBi) in a compact, outdoor design that can be self-installed by the consumer in a window, wall or pole. With 4-carrier aggregation of up to 300 MHz of bandwidth, the 5G receiver makes the most of the signals that are available. It includes a simple, user-friendly mobile app that helps users identify the optimal location to install the receiver.

The FastMile 5G Gateway 7 utilises high gain antennas with up to 8 dBi of gain, carrier aggregation and 200 MHz of spectrum support to enable high-speed broadband access over the 5G network. The gateway utilises dual-band Wi-Fi 7 to extend 5G speeds throughout the home. It is powered by Nokia’s Corteca software, which supports value-added applications embedded in the device, cloud-based Wi-Fi optimisation and Wi-Fi device management based on open industry standards and EasyMesh.
