Nokia will provide its AirScale portfolio supporting TWM’s commitments to RE100 and to reach 100% renewable energy by 2040. It will offer its equipment including base stations and massive Mimo antennas to boost network performance and capacity.
The deal ushers 4G/5G dynamic spectrum sharing to maximise the advantages of Taiwan Mobile's spectrum assets, which include 700MHz and 2100MHz bands.
Nokia will help the operator modernise its LTE infrastructure, as well as consolidate the network management and optimisation under a centralised tool for a 4G/5G RAN network performance.
Nokia has partnered with Taiwan Mobile for more than 20 years and has previously provided 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile networks covering RAN, packet core, and voice core. In particular, Nokia has contributed to Taiwan Mobile’s 5G development including projects on smart stadiums, smart transportation, and smart logistics.
Today, Taiwan Mobile has over one million 5G subscribers.
Nokia will also expand its existing 5G Standalone Cover to provide advanced 5G applications such as network slicing for enterprises and businesses and Edge Cloud deployments for low-latency services.
The deployment will include Nokia AirFrame server hardware with Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) capabilities, IMS Voice Core capacity expansion, and Voice over New Radio (VoNR).
