Huawei and du Commercially Deploy the First Indoor 5G in the Middle East – BusinessNews.LK

Huawei, in partnership with du, from the Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), have deployed the first indoor 5G-Advanced Network in the Middle East.

Making use of Three Carrier Aggregation (3CC) technology, the network relies on Huawei‘s LampSite X ‘Digital Indoor Solution.’ Delivering a peak data rate of 5.1Gb/s, this network further strengthens du’s leading position in the 5G user experience market.

This joint innovation aims to significantly enhance the capabilities of mobile networks by improving connectivity in indoor spaces such as shopping malls, hotels, airports, and residential buildings.

It builds on the previous 5G collaborations between Huawei and du. In 2021, du and Huawei had pioneered the first ubiquitous indoor gigabit-per-second network in the Middle East.

As a leading player in the 5G market,

du has seen remarkable results from its commitment to innovation. 5G user traffic now accounts for over 60% of total mobile traffic, surpassing the combined traffic of 4G and 3G networks. The widespread adoption of 5G services demonstrates the success of du’s network, and the deployment of three TDD large-bandwidth carriers with aggregation promises users an unmatched network experience. A technology in use since the LTE era, carrier aggregation lets network operators combine multiple frequencies to boost the data rate. In the 5G era, 3CC can be harnessed to deliver 5G-Advanced.

Saleem AlBlooshi, Chief Technology Officer at du, stated: “We are committed to providing a high-quality user experience to our customers. Since the introduction of 5G in 2019, we have launched numerous innovative services. Among these, 5G home wireless services have been widely welcomed, and our market share in this area is far ahead. Introducing 5G Three Carrier Aggregation in our In-Building Solution (IBS) Network is a crucial step in ensuring a leading 5G user experience. It has enabled us to enhance our network’s capabilities and quality, greatly improving customer satisfaction.”

Eric Bao, President of Huawei’s Wireless Digital Indoor System Product Line, commented, “With the rapid development of 5G networks, user experience is greatly improved, and applications based on functions such as low latency and indoor precise positioning are rapidly developing. The era of innovation represented by smart electric vehicles, humanoid robots, cloud mobile phones, and glass free 3D has arrived. It is a must for operators to provide indoor networks with higher capacity, higher performance, and higher energy-saving efficiency. As an industry-leading indoor solution, LampSite X assists operators in building indoor networks that offer both intelligence and extraordinary performance to meet the explosive growth in service demand.”
