Nokia ARHA 474801A 2600MHz RRU

The Nokia ARHA 474801A 2600MHz RRU is a high-performance remote radio unit designed to operate in the 2600 MHz spectrum (Band 7), one of the most widely deployed frequency ranges for high-capacity LTE and increasingly significant for 5G NR deployments. As part of Nokia’s AirScale Radio Access portfolio, this RRU ensures superior data throughput, low latency, and robust reliability in dense urban, suburban, and hotspot environments. Its compact and lightweight design allows for easy installation on rooftops, poles, or towers close to antennas, minimizing feeder losses and maximizing network efficiency.

Engineered for multi-standard support, the ARHA 474801A enables LTE (4G) and is fully 5G NR-ready, offering operators a future-proof solution. The 2T2R MIMO configuration combined with high transmit power per port delivers wide coverage, improved spectral efficiency, and excellent service continuity, even under heavy network loads. Advanced LTE features such as carrier aggregation and higher-order modulation further enhance performance, making it ideal for capacity layer deployments. Connectivity to Nokia’s AirScale baseband units is achieved via CPRI or eCPRI optical fronthaul, each supporting up to 10 Gbps, ensuring seamless integration into both traditional RAN and modern cloud-RAN (vRAN) architectures. Designed for durability, the ARHA 474801A is IP65/IP66-rated, providing full protection against dust, moisture, and harsh weather. With efficient passive or assisted cooling, the unit guarantees reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions.
