Nokia LTE Air-to-Ground

High speed

Nokia Bell Labs algorithms provide robust Doppler estimation and compensation caused by aircraft high speed(up to 1200 km/h)

Large cells

Nokia Bell Labs timing adjustment features compensate high distance between ground station and the aircraft(up to 150 km cell range)
