South Korean mobile operator LG Uplus is turning to network partner Nokia to help accelerate the expansion of its 5G network throughout the country amid a growing clamor by users for better coverage.
The Finnish vendor said the market s third-largest player is to install 5G small cells in order to improve indoor and outdoor connectivity.
Nokia explained that the small cell AirScale Indoor (ASiR) systems are to be installed in a range of indoor locations including shopping malls and office buildings.
Small packages: Nokia s small cell technology will help improve 5G in indoor areas like malls.
Notably, the new 5G contract follows Nokia s announcement in March that LG Uplus is trialing its technology to support 5G network slices. The operator also uses 5G equipment from Ericsson, Huawei and Samsung.
