flag NEC launches compact, energy-efficient 5G base station with faster speeds, set for Japan launch in early 2026.

flag NEC Corporation has developed a new 5G base station Radio Unit for the Sub-6GHz band, featuring Massive MIMO and MU-MIMO technologies that boost uplink and downlink speeds by up to 48% and 54% respectively. flag The unit is 23% smaller, 33% lighter, fanless, and cuts power use by up to 42% under normal operation. flag It supports longer fronthaul distances—up to 40km when paired with NEC’s vRAN—improving deployment flexibility and reducing costs. flag Scheduled for release in Japan in early 2026, international versions follow later in the year, with a debut at MWC Barcelona 2026. flag The project received support from Japan’s NICT.
