Huawei and telecom network operator EE announced the live demonstration of 2.1Gbps mobile speeds in EE’s UK test lab.
The 2Gbps demonstration continues the evolution of 3GPP LTE Advanced technologies, and sets a clear path towards Gigabit class networks. This demonstration is the latest breakthrough of carrier aggregation technology that started in 2013 with EE and Huawei in London’s Tech City.
Fotis Karonis, BT/ EE Managing Director of IT and Mobile, said: “We are working to introduce Gigabit class networks to the UK’s cities, at the same time our rollout of 4G continues into the most rural parts of the country for ubiquitous high speed mobile broadband in the UK.”
EE is working with Huawei to deliver the evolution to TechCity 2.0 that includes video optimization and a specific video experience measurement score referred to as vMOS, along with Enterprise and public safety applications of innovative Push To Talk capabilities over LTE.
TechCity1.0 program focused on technology leadership through introducing innovative technologies into the field and showing the benefits to end users, while TechCity2.0 added business model innovation, and social responsibility leadership. Huawei has deployed the TechCity program in more than 20 cities around the world.
TechCity 2.0
TechCity 2.0 is dedicated to enhancing business and livelihoods, as well as increasing connectivity between people, between people and machines, and between machines and machines, to improve the efficiency of entire societies.
TechCity 2.0 will drive operators’ leadership in three core areas: technology, business, and social responsibility.
Peter Zhou, CMO of Huawei Wireless Network, said: “TechCity 2.0 helps telecom operators maintain their technological leadership and resolves technological and business issues by scaling the deployment of new technologies and services.”
Meanwhile, president of Huawei Wireless Solution, Edward Deng, described an integrated suite of solutions to enable the cloudification of wireless networks. ERA includes three integrated solutions: one for cloud-based core networks (CloudEdge), cloud-based radio access networks (CloudRAN), and cloud-based air interface (CloudAIR).
