The Nokia Smart Node is an indoor mobile module solution delivering 4G and 5G indoor mobile coverage for residential and small-medium enterprise use. The compact, ‘plug and play’ modular design can be deployed readily in any environment to support evolving consumer applications. It is future-proofed to support 4G now and 5G networks when required and both non-stand-alone and stand-alone 5G applications through a software upgrade.

Described by the company as “stylish, durable and smart”, Nokia Smart Node is a dedicated indoor mobile solution with apparently “superior coverage and capacity” – and it can be easily scaled from single to multiple units to meet total indoor coverage requirements. Its coverage, latency and reliability delivers ubiquitous 5G connectivity for specific use cases such as immersive entertainment. The ‘plug and play’ capabilities also make it easy to set up, which keeps installation costs to a minimum. It can be wall, ceiling or desktop mounted.

Nokia Smart Node supports traffic management by reducing core network load and optimising macro resource allocation. It will be available from Q4 2021. nokia.com
