Movistar Chile to use Nokia technology in its 5G network

Nokia will provide the necessary equipment in the launch of Movistar's 5G network, and will also upgrade the operator's 4G and 4G+ networks, reinforcing the critical backbone network in key markets in Chile. This high-speed mobile technology will be supported by Movistar Chile's fiber optics, which will allow the different mobile antennas deployed in cities to be interconnected. The network will operate on the spectrum recently awarded to Movistar in Chile's 5G auction - over the 3.5 GHz Band - and will take advantage of Nokia's AirScale Radio Access portfolio to offer ultra-low latency, great connectivity and higher capacity.
