What is Nokia AirScale Radio Access Network (RAN) ?

Overview of Nokia AirScale BBU & RRU / RRH Series

Nokia AirScale is a modular 4G LTE and 5G NR radio access platform widely adopted by global telecom operators. The system consists of two core components: BBU (Baseband Unit) and RRU/RRH (Remote Radio Unit). The BBU handles baseband computing, system control, clock synchronization and radio resource management, while the RRU/RRH is responsible for radio frequency signal transmission and reception at cell sites.

AirScale modular design enables flexible network deployment, easy capacity expansion and convenient spare part replacement. It is the mainstream hardware for modern mobile communication networks, suitable for new network construction, network upgrade, station maintenance and fault replacement projects.
