5.1 Product overview
The Nokia FastMile Outdoor Unit is the outdoor unit (ODU) of the Nokia FastMile
solution, the purpose of which is to use 3GPP based LTE radio technology to provide
broadband connectivity with guaranteed high bitrates in larger service areas in a
more cost-efficient manner than is possible with other existing solutions.
The Nokia FastMile solution can overcome network performance challenges faced
by today's mobile networks by optimizing all of the following:
• intra site interference due to neighbor sectors in same LTE base station
• inter site interference due to neighbor base stations
• link performance due to wall penetration loss and several miles path loss
The Nokia FastMile Outdoor Unit provides high-performing, wireless broadband
access over LTE to meet residential users’ total home connectivity needs for urban,
suburban, rural, and deep rural spots.
The Nokia FastMile Outdoor Unit supports LTE connectivity to an LTE base station
in the network and provides 1 Gbps Ethernet connectivity through a pre-attached 3
m (9.8 ft) Ethernet cable to an indoor unit, such as a residential gateway like the
Nokia 7368 ISAM CPE A-020W-A.
