Nokia starts production of next gen 5G equipment at Chennai facility

Chennai, Dec 8 (UNI) Finnish mobile handset maker Nokia
on Tuesday announced that it has started production of next
generation 5G equipment at its state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility near here.
Nokia was the first to manufacture the 5G New Radio in
India and it is now producing the cutting-edge Nokia
AirScale massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (mMIMO)
solution.
A company release said the equipment is already being
exported to many countries in advanced stages of 5G
deployment.
Nokia's Chennai plant is a significant contributor
to the government's Make in India initiative to boost
domestic manufacturing designed to position India
as a manufacturing hub for the latest telecom gear.
Nokia is now manufacturing mMIMO based 5G
products with the latest 64-Transmit/64-Receive
(64T64R) configuration.
The release said massive MIMO is a key element of
5G technology that delivers high capacity, especially
in densely populated locations. It brings together
antennas at the transmitter and receiver to ensure
improved speed and spectrum efficiency.
Sanjay Malik, Senior Vice President and Head of
India Market said “our Chennai factory has emerged
as a benchmark of India's manufacturing capabilities,
bringing an entire range of telecom technology to
operators in India and the rest of the world."
"From being the first to manufacture 5G NR in India
to producing mMIMO, it demonstrates our innovative
manufacturing capabilities and our belief in India's
skill and talent to produce the best in class equipment",
he said.
This will enable us to support Indian Operators as
they prepare to launch 5G.

Since it was established in 2008, Nokia has invested
over Rs 600 crore in its facility which is spread over
140,000 sqm.
The Chennai factory has manufactured more than five
million telecom network equipment units over the years.
The factory was the first to deploy India’s first ‘real-world’
application of Industry 4.0 including AR/VR, automation
and analytics, to enhance operational efficiency and
productivity.
