NEW DELHI: Finnish telecom gear maker Nokia has won a multi-year 5G radio access network (RAN) deal from Zain Jordan.
Through the deal, Zain will be able to support the digital transformation of the country by offering superior 5G services with enhanced connectivity and capacity to customers, Nokia said in a statement Saturday, adding that a major part of the deployment is expected to be completed in 2023.
Under the deal, which covers 3,000 sites nationwide, Nokia will supply the latest generation of its AirScale Baseband, Massive MIMO radios, and Remote Radio Head equipment, which are all powered by the ReefShark system-on-chip (SoC).
Alongside, Nokia said it will also modernize Zain’s existing 4G infrastructure.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Zain Jordan on this project to modernize their complete Radio Access Network and introduce 5G technology, and by doing so support the Jordanian Government’s digital transformation objectives. The deployment of 5G is expected to stimulate the incubation and growth of new technologies and industries,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia.
Nokia has a long-standing partnership with Zain across several nations, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
