Filtronic and Nokia have collaborated to develop a massive MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) antenna. This next generation, dual-band FDD-LTE antenna is designed to integrate Nokia AirScale Radios in a 16T16R configuration and is based on Filtronic proprietary designs, allowing for rapid product development.
Massive MIMO incorporates beamforming techniques that yield increased spectral efficiency, which significantly increases network capacity in both uplink and downlink. The efficiency gains from massive MIMO products provide a compelling business case for Mobile Network Operators and are a major step in the development of dense 5G networks.
