Nokia announced today (22 February) that it has won a ten-year deal to build out a new 5G Standalone (SA) network in Singapore for Antina, the joint venture (JV) formed by mobile network operators M1 and StarHub, as well as improving the pairās existing network infrastructure throughout the city-state. Following a competitive tender process, the Finnish vendor confirmed it remains Antinaās sole supplier and that going forward, it will deploy a 5G SA network for both indoor and outdoor coverage as well as expand the existing network utilising Antinaās 3.5GHz spectrum holdings.
In a press release, Nokia outlined that under the deal it will equip new buildings throughout the city-state with its AirScale indoor Radio (ASiR) small cell solution for seamless indoor coverage. It will also provide equipment from its āenergy-efficient AirScale portfolioā including 5G base stations, massiveĀ MIMOĀ adaptive antennas for urban and wide-area coverage as well as dual-band remote radio heads (RRH). Further, Antina will utilise its spectrum in the 2.1GHz (n1) and 3.5GHz (n78) bands to optimise capacity and coverage.
