Taiwanese operator Chunghwa Telecom selected Nokia to supply a range of products from its 5G small cell portfolio, as the operator seeks improvements in indoor coverage at small- and medium-sized businesses, and tourist districts.
In a statement, Nokia said it already installed 140 5G small cells, which complement an existing base of more than 2,500 4G versions it previously deployed. The vendor will also supply AirScale gear: an indoor radio platform, which it states improves indoor coverage and capacity; and micro remote radio heads for outdoor and urban hotspots.
Max Chen, president of Chunghwa Telecom’s Mobile Division, said the deal is a continuation of its ambitious approach to small cell deployment across Taiwan.
The operator received its 5G licence [1] in June and said it had more than 2,000 macro base stations in 22 cities when it launched the non-standalone service later that month.
At the time it targeted [2] full coverage of major cities and transport routes by the year-end, and national availability by end-2021.
