Nokia Strengthens Home Broadband Offerings With New 5G Gateway, Wi-Fi 7 Support

On Thursday, Nokia Corporation NOK launched the FastMile Gateway 4, a compact 5G indoor gateway equipped with Wi-Fi 7.

The product is designed to provide seamless high-speed connectivity throughout the home.

The gateway features high-gain antennas (up to 8 dBi) and dual-band Wi-Fi 7, the new 5G gateway offers a self-installable solution for consumers.

With support for 4-carrier aggregation and up to 300MHz bandwidth, it optimizes radio capacity, enhances coverage, and maximizes throughput.

Additionally, the 5G Gateway 4 integrates 8RX and 3TX capabilities for improved spectrum efficiency and faster speeds.

Wi-Fi 7's multi-link operation (MLO) further enhances performance by allowing devices to transmit and receive data simultaneously across multiple bands and channels, delivering up to 4Gbps of in-home Wi-Fi capacity.

Nokia's Gateway 4, powered by Corteca software, offers embedded apps, cloud-based Wi-Fi optimization, and device management with EasyMesh.

Nokia now offers four Wi-Fi 7 gateway models, enhancing 5G FWA services and providing operators with a seamless 5G and Wi-Fi 7 experience for homes.

Shiv Putcha, Director for Research and Consulting at GSMA Intelligence stated, "FWA has proven to be a spectacular hit in driving broadband access in the last mile around the world. However, there are numerous end users, many with potentially unique requirements that need servicing.”

”Nokia has the broadest portfolio today, with multiple FastMile gateway products that combine 5G FWA with dual-band WiFi 7 indoors. This, combined with Corteca management software, will help operators cater to multiple segments of demand,”

This week, the company disclosed a contract with Worldstream to adopt Nokia's network security technology to safeguard businesses in the Netherlands and worldwide from large-scale DDoS attacks.

Also, Nokia won a contract from Hetzner to upgrade its data center and core network infrastructure. 

Investors can gain exposure to the stock via iShares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF IDGT and Defiance Connective Technologies ETF SIXG.

Price Action: NOK shares are down 0.19% at $5.35 premarket at the last check Thursday.
