Nokia announced it has signed a comprehensive 5G deal with Claro Argentina to deploy 5G infrastructure across the country. The agreement will cover the first phase of 5G implementation in the country, reaching Argentina’s largest cities. The deal supports Claro’s strategy of digitizing Argentina with reliable, low-latency and ultra-high-speed connectivity for consumers and enterprises. Nokia is the sole supplier and will see its market share increase in the deal.
Nokia will deploy equipment from its industry-leading 5G AirScale portfolio, powered by its energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology. This includes base stations, baseband units and its latest generation of Massive MIMO radios, delivering extensive, superior 5G capacity and coverage, as well as enabling easy deployments. Nokia will also offer planning, deployment, integration and network optimization services.
Claro will become the first customer in Latin America to deploy Nokia’s Interleaved Passive Active Antenna (IPAA+) across its entire footprint. Service providers typically face the challenge of finding additional space on towers and rooftops to add 5G antennas. Nokia’s IPAA+ accelerates the deployment of 5G by addressing this practical issue. Its modular design supports a wide range of frequencies, from 700 MHz to 2.6 GHz, and the 3.5 GHz 5G band with a compact antenna solution.
Nokia is a long-standing partner of Claro Argentina and has supported the operator with the deployment of its 2G, 3G, 4G, and now 5G networks.
