Banshee Flex Radio
Advanced 5G/LTE networks for tactical edge communications
The Nokia 5G Banshee Flex Radio introduces commercial waveforms and modern capabilities for battlefield communications for the first time by integrating multiple cutting-edge networking technologies into a single platform. Designed with modular network components for maximum flexibility, the Banshee Flex Radio delivers unparalleled 5G throughput with 100MHz carriers and extreme operational range with multiple power options.
With the ability to operate over a private dual 5G/LTE band network, the Banshee Flex Radio gives warfighters multiple networks for secure, resilient and redundant, high-performance communications. Modularity makes the Banshee Flex Radio configurable for any Area of Operation (AOR)—ensuring teams stay connected, informed, and agile in a contested environment.
