During the Interoperability Development Test (IoDT), the companies will conduct 5G data calls using one low-band channel and three mid-band channels in the sub-7GHz frequency range (FR1) band, where most 5G data traffic is typically carried. Has completed. .
The increased throughput enabled by this 4CC combination will result in faster download speeds for smartphone users and fixed wireless access subscribers, enabling seamless video streaming and a better user experience. Ericsson’s flexible carrier aggregation solutions enable service providers to make the most of available spectrum assets and deliver high quality his 5G connections.
Sibel Tombaz, Head of Product Line 5G RAN at Ericsson Networks, said: Ericsson is continuously investigating all possible frequency band combinations to improve capacity and coverage. We also showed that carrier aggregation is a game changer when it comes to optimizing the combined bandwidth of allocated spectrum assets to provide higher data rates to more users. ”
HC Hwang, General Manager of Wireless Communications Systems and Partnerships at MediaTek, said: Ericsson is ready to integrate into our flagship his 5G modem. ”
Carrier aggregation is the key to deploying high-performance 5G networks. It offers the unique ability to combine many frequency bands to achieve higher speeds and greater cell coverage, improving capacity and user experience. Better speeds mean better audio and video quality for streaming users, faster file downloads, and a better working environment for Digital Nomads. By combining FDD and TDD spectrum, more users can benefit from carrier aggregation.
Combining 20MHz of AWS (Advanced Wireless Service) band, 80MHz of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band and 200MHz of C-band spectrum achieved a downlink peak rate of nearly 4.4 Gbps. This test was performed using a MediaTek M80 5G modem, Ericsson’s Baseband 6648, TDD Massive MIMO radios AIR3268, AIR3239, and TDD Radio 4426.
