Huawei Goes Inter-Band With LTE-A

BARCELONA -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced the launch of the world’s first LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) inter-band carrier aggregation (CA) solution at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona. This solution will significantly improve the utilization of discontinued spectrum resources and increase user peak rate and network throughput.

In an era of mobile broadband (MBB), diversified MBB services and increasing data traffic used by individual subscribers have a huge impact on mobile networks. Scarcity of spectrum resources, however, prevents proportional increases in network capacity. In recent years there has been considerable discussion about how operators can effectively utilize spectrum assets for greater capacity.

At the Mobile World Congress 2012, demonstrations of Huawei’s LTE-A inter-band CA solution showed inter-band carrier aggregation at 800MHz and 2.6GHz with peak throughput of over 225Mb/s. The solution is expected to revolutionize user experience by allowing networks to meet bandwidth requirements of data-heavy applications, marking an industry milestone and demonstrating Huawei’s leadership in field of LTE-A innovation.
