Airspan Networks Holdings announced a major deployment milestone of 120 eNodeB base stations in collaboration with NextWave’s ongoing New York Metro Private Network rollout. NextWave, a private network service provider, had recently revealed plans to leverage their Band 41 spectrum capabilities to provide uniquely wide-area private network coverage to offer seamless high-speed mobile networking for mission-critical services. Today’s milestone represents the continuation of the first phase of NextWave’s "first-of-its-kind" network buildout, with Airspan’s AirHarmony4000 eNodeB units taking a prominent role in providing the 4G LTE component of wide-area coverage to the private network that will reach nearly 15m people later in 2023. The AirHarmony product line’s well-proven capabilities in the Band 41 range, among others, made Airspan a well-suited RAN partner to fully capitalize on NextWave’s valuable 50 MHz of bandwidth.
