Nokia has unveiled a new advancement in wireless technology. The company now fully focused on networks made the world’s first full duplex transmission for wireless backhaul and fronthaul. This means carriers can use one channel for data upload and download, which will reduce hardware and energy losses. This technology could be a new standard for future 6G networks and spectrum use beyond 100GHz.
The idea came from a network operator’s need for more efficient spectral use as global demand for high-bandwidth applications continues to rise. Traditional systems use separate frequencies for transmission and reception, like line of sight (LoS) multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems, struggle to keep up.
Nokia took a different approach and demonstrated full-duplex wireless transmission in the D-Band spectrum (130 to 175 GHz) using their Wavence Ultra-Broadband Transceiver (UBT) radio. This technology allows for simultaneous transmission and reception over a single channel, doubling the capacity of traditional systems. Nokia’s demonstration achieved a notable 10+10 Gbps capacity, with 10 Gbps each for uplink and downlink, over a single 2GHz channel, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and performance in wireless backhaul and fronthaul.
Full duplex technology offers significant advantages over current systems, including a 100% increase in spectral and energy efficiency, up to 50% reduction in hardware costs, and simplified deployment. This breakthrough positions Nokia as a leader in wireless communication innovation, ready to meet the future demands of network technology.
This tech sounds great and interesting, something Nokia would do, but the new logo just doesn’t sit well on their radios.
