China Telecom has deployed the industry’s first 4G/5G dual-band micro base station supporting 3.5 GHz frequency band in Hangzhou, China.
ZTE, the technology partner of China Telecom, said the dual-band micro base station can provide users with excellent 4G / 5G network experience with the downlink rate reaching 1.1Gbps.
The latest 4G / 5G dual-band 4T4R products of ZTE’s 5G Pad RRU series, featuring 2.1GHz LTE anchors, can realize the fast NSA network commissioning, guaranteeing the service experience of 4G/5G coverage in a 5G SA network.
It supports 3G/4G/5G multi-mode, and 200 MHz continuous ultra-large bandwidth on 3.5 GHz frequency band.
The 4G/5G dual-band micro base station is small in size, light in weight, and quick to deploy, effectively solving the challenge of insufficient site resources and realizing fast 5G signal coverage extension.
The pad base station is usually installed on smart light poles, which integrate HD camera, environmental monitoring, weather sensor, screen, and new-energy vehicle charging functions. Smart light poles can monitor the real-time road conditions, such as flood, to avoid potential hazards.
The smart light poles can be used as a site location for 5G micro base stations to solve the problem of insufficient coverage, and transfer live information of smart light poles in real time, ZTE said.
