PRESS RELEASE: In recent years, Pakistan has witnessed growing demands for mobile communications and the emergence of various new mobile services and apps.
This leads to continuous increases in the network users and traffic volume of major mobile communications service providers in the country. However, insufficient spectrum resources mean that Pakistan’s 4G networks are among the most heavily loaded in the world, which severely affects user experience. To address this challenge, major operators in Pakistan have introduced Huawei’s GigaGreen 8T8R solution (8 x 80 W RRU) to their networks. This solution improves user experience by 150% and reduces OPEX for operators.
GigaGreen is the latest radio platform launched by Huawei. “Giga” encompasses both Gigaband and Giga experience, which are achieved with simplified and powerful technologies that allow a single module to support multiple frequency bands, thereby maximizing spectral efficiency and simplifying deployment. The solution also features a number of “Green” technologies that deliver optimal energy efficiency to help operators slash electricity fees. Compared with the old platform, the RRU developed on this platform has four enhancements: smaller size & lighter weight: around 30% smaller appearance. Higher spectral efficiency: The industry’s only true wideband architecture provides the maximum operating bandwidth and improves user experience by 20%. Lower power consumption: The industry’s first 0 bit 0 watt fucntion reduces the power consumption by 30%. Stronger PIMc interference cancellation capability: reaching 25 dBc, enables worry-free multi-band deployment. In a word, GigaGreen is a solution with better network capacity and OPEX.
GigaGreen 8T8R has become a popular choice for operators, including those in Pakistan who have deployed 8 x 80 W RRU on their LTE networks. During actual deployment, the network capacity is doubled, and the release of suppressed demand enables network traffic to increase by 43%, help operator shorten the ROI period. The daily average user experience is improved by 150%, in busy hours can be even improved by five times. In addition, compared with the traditional 2 x 4T4R RRU combination solution, which is commonly used by operators before, GigaGreen 8T8R has demonstrated a 15% reduction in site energy consumption, when added to the reduction in tower rental costs, can add up to 18% in total annual OPEX. These noticeable advantages are the reason why mainstream operators in Pakistan have accelerated the pace of GigaGreen 8T8R deployment, thus the commercial scale exceeds 1500 sites.
Look into the future, to adapt to the growing uptake of mobile phones that support four receive channels (4R) and transmission mode 9 (TM9) and with the evolution of mobile networks towards 5G, GigaGreen 8T8R can smoothly evolve into 8T3S to more than double user experience, bringing brand-new entertainment experience to users. People can access the Internet anytime, anywhere for online shopping, social networking, learning, and more. In addition, it has also promoted the rapid development of emerging fields such as smart home and Internet of Things, which has greatly enriched people’s lives.
