Huawei Demos Speed of 1.2 Gb/second with LTE-advanced
March 29, 2010 - Huawei has achieved the world' s fastest LTE-advanced downlink speeds of up to 1.2 Gb/s at CTIA Wireless 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Huawei' s LTE-advanced technology enables future development of LTE for operators and provides unparalleled mobile broadband experiences for consumers. The record speeds, which are more than 40 times faster than existing commercial 3G networks, are expected to revolutionize user experience by meeting bandwidth requirements of data-heavy applications," said Karen Yu, President of Huawei USA. "Huawei will continue to invest heavily in LTE and is committed to promoting industry developments and maturity."
The demonstration utilized Huawei' s industry-leading SingleRAN prototype LTE-advanced solution with 80 MHz multi-carrier wideband radio and included following features: carrier aggregation (CA), 4x4 multi-input multi-output (MIMO), coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) and relay. Huawei' s SingleRAN solution supports network multi-mode convergence and evolution while reducing total cost of ownership for operators.
Huawei's end-to-end LTE solution provides an All-IP, high speed, low latency and highly spectrum efficient mobile network, which greatly enhances the experience of mobile multi-media services. As the world's leading LTE/SAE provider, Huawei has deployed more than 60 LTE networks including nine commercial networks.
