On the 11th of November, CommScope announced its new collaboration with Nokia to develop a new interleaved passive-active antenna (IPAA) radio platform. The solution will enable operators to provide 5-G services and keep pace with the increasing subscriber demand for mobile broadband. This will be achieved by the introduction of modular IPAA, which enables deployment of 5-G NR without the need for additional footprint. Joe Madden, Found and Chief Analyst for Mobile Experts said: “The laws of physics can create some difficulties in making integrated antennas small and lightweight…but operators will need the integration to add capacity on their crowded towers. We expect clever engineering to create opportunities for the most innovative antenna suppliers.”
