DOHA, Qatar -- Ooredoo Qatar has launched its nationwide LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) services so that its customers can now enjoy downlink data speeds of up to 225 Mbps. To do this, Nokia Networks upgraded the operator’s LTE network with LTE-A Carrier Aggregation. This is the first commercial LTE-A deployment with carrier aggregation in the country.
Carrier aggregation is a key feature of LTE-Advanced, enabling operators to create larger, virtual carrier bandwidths for services by combining separate spectrum bands, thus boosting network capacity and speed as well as performance. Through its LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation, Nokia Networks helps operators worldwide achieve the highest possible data rates, including the world’s first three commercial LTE-Advanced networks in Korea.
