Subject: Application for Original Equipment Certification under FCC ID: VBNAEQM-01 for Nokia
AirScale MAA 64T64R 192AE B48 AEQM
Dear Examiner:
The Nokia AirScale MAA 64T64R 192AE B48 AEQM (hereinafter referred to as “AEQM”) is the subject of
this application for a new FCC Product Certification under FCC ID: VBNAEQM-01. The AEQM is a LTE-
TDD (Long Term Evolution-Time Division Duplex) transceiver and operates in Band 48 Citizens
Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum (3550-3700 MHz).
The AEQM supports 10MHz and 20 MHz single LTE carriers, plus 10+20 MHz and 20+20 MHz multiple
carriers with 8-Beam 32T/32R modes or 16-Beam 64T/64R modes of operation and a maximum total
RF power output capacity of 32W at its 64T/64R transmit ports. The AEQM also supports cross-
polarized 32T/32R 4 streams per polarization and 64T/64R 8 streams per polarization MIMO
operations. The AEQM is equipped with an integrated antenna with a maximum total gain of 24.5 dBi
for 32T/32R 1 stream per polarization and 27.5 dBi for 64T/64R 1 stream per polarization operations.
Nokia Bell Labs, part of the Nokia family of companies, hereby requests this certification for LTE
operation.
The key data are summarized below.
