Nokia today announced that it has been selected by Rakuten Mobile to provide Radio Access Network (RAN) solutions based on its comprehensive, energy-efficient AirScale portfolio supporting the low 700 MHz spectrum band.

This decision will enable Rakuten Mobile to offer its customers enhanced coverage, capacity and network performance across its cloud-native and fully virtualized end-to-end OpenRAN mobile network in Japan.

Nokia will supply equipment from its next-generation AirScale radio access product range, powered by its ReefShark System-on-Chip (SoC) technology.

' With the addition of the 700 MHz frequency to its spectrum assets, Rakuten Mobile will be able to offer advanced 4G services to consumers and business users in indoor locations,' commented Tommi Uitto, president of mobile networks at Nokia.
