IamMrFamous07 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Japanese telecom operator SoftBank collaborated with network gear vendor Huawei on a field test of LTE Advanced in the 3.5 GHz band that supported a peak download speed of 770 Mbps and average download speeds of 500 Mbps. The test involved multiple LTE-A technologies to achieve those speeds, including carrier aggregation (CA), coordinated multi-point (CoMP) and cloud baseband, said the companies. The demo late last month was held in Tokyo's densely populated Ginza district and hosted by the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI). Members are interested in speeding up the release of 3.5 GHz spectrum for TD-LTE use. SoftBank and Huawei said Japan's government is expected to allocate spectrum from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz for commercial LTE networks by 2015.

Nickel Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think this has to be fixed wireless and not mobile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilesolutions Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well geez, I haven't pulled off any thing that fast over wireless that wasn't for back haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnygATL Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Nice demo but. .hmm.....I don't need speeds like that. Maybe NASA does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 That high frequency wouldn't penetrate a piece of paper 3.5GHz works just fine in the density that it is deployed in Asia. It will penetrate walls in the short distances that of is designed for. 2.6GHz even penetrates fine when you are inline with a sector and within half mile of a site. High frequencies are fine, used in conjunction with lower frequencies to fill in the gaps.

koiulpoi Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 And some members of congress are flipping out right about now about those DAMN CHINESE and their SPYING WAYS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansltx Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ericsson has already demoed TD-LTE in 2600 that can do this; it's not a Huawei-specific thing. But my guess is that Huawei was more willing to show off their next-gen tech to SoftBank than Ericsson was. In other news, Huawei is responsible for at least on Canadian Band 7 (20x20 FD) operator's (I think Bell) deployments. Also, when you amp up the power, it's surprising what you can do with higher frequencies. 3.5GHz would be excellent for airport or stadium DASes. And fixed wireless everywhere else.

Nickel Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 We can't talk about other countries spying with the whole NSA thing. I think it's pretty safe to assume that a lot of other countries do that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DsmIowaGuy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Lots of neat things coming in the next few years to off load in key areas. Similar to the large stadiums and big tourist areas that only span a block or two area but have high usage. Even some areas in bigger Cities that have lots of high rise condo and apartment bldgs in a smaller area can benefit from things like this. Tech is going fast and we can hardly grab on !
