The move will enable communication service providers to
deliver higher throughputs and better coverage to more customers.
To achieve this performance, Nokia supplied its latest
AirScale equipment including its AirScale 5G SA architecture powered by its energy-efficient
ReefShark System-on-Chip (SoC) technology as well as its cloud-native 5G core.
MediaTek provided its new M80 5G modem which combines mmWave and sub-6 GHz
capabilities onto a single chip as well as the user equipment testing platform.
Carrier Aggregation combines frequency bands for higher
rates and increased coverage, delivering superior network capacity by
maximizing the spectral efficiency of 5G networks. Frequency division duplex
(FDD) in 600MHz (n71) is a lower frequency band that provides a wide coverage
area, improving cell edge performance.
Time-division duplex (TDD) in 2600MHz (n41) has higher
bandwidth and capacity. The combination of these spectrum bands supports a
range of 5G deployment scenarios including indoor as well enhanced outdoor
coverage. The high-band sub-6Ghz spectrum bands support high-capacity and
extreme mobile broadband capabilities.
JS Pan, General Manager, Wireless Communication System, and
Partnerships at MediaTek, said:
“This test demonstrates the importance of carrier
aggregation in enabling mobile operators around the world to deliver
best-in-class speed and capacity to their subscribers. The combination of
Nokia’s AirScale portfolio and our technology boosts the possibilities of
spectrum assets and 5G networks. We look forward to continuing to partner with
Nokia to advance the 5G ecosystem.”
Mark Atkinson, SVP, Radio Access Networks PLM at Nokia,
added:
“Nokia continues to drive the 5G ecosystem by delivering new
and important innovations. This validation test demonstrates how mobile
operators can maximize their spectrum allocations and deliver enhanced coverage
and capacity to subscribers.
Nokia is committed to pushing the boundaries of 5G and
delivering industry-leading performance. High-capacity Carrier Aggregation
combinations can be achieved in both 5G Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone
(NSA) based on our scalable Airscale Baseband architecture.”
