T-Mobile to deploy Nokia solution for fixed-wireless High Speed Internet service

T-Mobile has selected Nokia to launch a dedicated gateway solution that supports LTE, 5G NSA, and 5G SA technologies for its market-leading High-Speed Internet (HSI) service. The operator will deploy Nokia's Multi-Access Gateway (MAG) solution to enhance capacity, scalability and speed of delivery.

"We are pleased to work with T-Mobile to provide a highly scalable and energy-efficient user plane for their fixed-wireless High Speed Internet service. Our MAG solution, which uses our advanced FP5 IP routing silicon, will help T-Mobile to effectively enhance service capacity, scalability, and speed to market," said Federico Guillén, President of Network Infrastructure, Nokia.

Nokia said that its Multi-Access Gateway solution will allow T-Mobile to deliver every customer an affordable, reliable, seamless broadband experience. The solution leverages the market-leading 7750 Service Routers (SR) to efficiently deliver broadband services over fixed-wireless access (FWA) technologies to rapidly expand coverage of high-speed broadband services to provide universal or ubiquitous broadband.

The Nokia MAG leverages the 7750 Service Routers (SR) to deliver broadband services over fixed-wireless access technologies efficiently. The Nokia MAG solution combines the throughput and power savings of an NPU-assisted user-plane architecture on 7750 SR systems while providing the flexibility of the 3GPP control-plane architecture.

The Nokia platform can incrementally scale the bandwidth for T-Mobile's HSI traffic to multiple Terabits-per-second, while providing significant power and space efficiency. As T-Mobile expands its HSI service to more homes, it will benefit from higher bandwidth with lower space and power.

"T-Mobile is one of the fastest growing broadband providers in the country and we are committed to expanding our High-Speed Internet service nationwide. The Nokia MAG solution will allow us to simplify our architecture and reduce operational life cycle management and our energy footprint. We are excited to partner with Nokia and leverage their innovative technology," John Saw, EVP Chief Technology Officer for T-Mobile said in a statement.
