Ericsson famous that its AIR 3229 dual-band radio permits e& UAE to ship 5G companies concurrently on each the two.6 GHz and three.5 GHz spectrum layers utilizing a single unit
Ericsson and Emirati-based operator e& UAE have accomplished what it claims to be one of many world’s first deployments of Ericsson’s dual-band Large MIMO radio, AIR 3229, on e& UAE’s community.
In a launch, the Swedish vendor famous that this new deployment goals to spice up community efficiency, improve community capability and scale back carbon footprint.
Ericsson famous that its AIR 3229 dual-band radio permits e& UAE to ship 5G companies concurrently on each the two.6 GHz and three.5 GHz spectrum layers utilizing a single unit. This makes it potential to double the variety of time division duplex (TDD) service parts from two to 4 in high-capacity 5G websites, Ericsson added.
The seller additionally highlighted that this resolution enhances community efficiency whereas addressing challenges associated to website acquisition, set up complexity and tower load administration. Ericsson’s resolution reduces energy consumption by 20% and minimizes the tower load by 25%.
Ericsson’s AIR 3229, which is a part of the Ericsson Radio System portfolio, is powered by the most recent technology of Ericsson Silicon.
Marwan Bin Shakar, SVP of entry community growth at e& UAE, mentioned: “At e& UAE, we’re all the time trying to undertake options that contribute to the evolution of our community whereas sustaining our sustainability aims. The introduction of Ericsson’s dual-band Large MIMO radio helps our efforts to ship world-class connectivity and enhanced 5G experiences whereas optimizing vitality effectivity and lowering our environmental impression.”
Ekow Nelson, VP and head of International Buyer Unit for e& at Ericsson Center East and Africa, mentioned: “By integrating superior applied sciences into its 5G community, e& UAE is best positioned to fulfill the rising demand for high-performance, dependable connectivity throughout the UAE.”
Ericsson and e& UAE have just lately signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the collaborative exploration of 6G expertise, its use circumstances and future community evolution.
Ericsson famous that the 6G settlement with the Arab telco will function an early engagement for outlining the following technology of future cell community evolution. It would additionally embrace a collection of technical discussions and engagements aimed toward collectively exploring key 6G expertise ideas, added the seller.
Final month, e& UAE mentioned it had reached a brand new document pace of 62 Gbps after it aggregated a number of carriers throughout high-band and low-band over simplified structure. The telco mentioned it used “cutting-edge” {hardware} and “refined” algorithms like MU-MIMO (multi-user, a number of enter, a number of output) to realize this 5G-A document pace.
Ericsson and e& UAE had additionally just lately claimed the profitable implementation of Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S), a time-critical communication expertise, in a 5G business community for the primary time within the Center East and Africa.
The expertise was demonstrated by a cloud gaming showcase performed on e& UAE’s 5G Standalone business community on the sidelines of GITEX International 2024, the place L4S resulted in lowering the latency to lower than half and completely sustaining it inside a predefined vary, Ericsson mentioned.
The Swedish vendor famous that the introduction of L4S time-critical communication expertise marks a major milestone in e& UAE’s journey in direction of 5G-Superior, the place it would allow the Arab telco to counterpoint its 5G capabilities, catering to time-sensitive use circumstances in industrial management and mobility automation.
