Paying special attention to key needs of mobile communication subscribers, UZMOBILE, national mobile operator of Uzbekistan, in partnership with ZTE, based on the laboratory of the Center for Development of Telecommunication and Personnel completed Pre5G laboratory test in Tashkent. ZTE offer includes the use of 5G technologies in 4G networks, until standardization of 5G technologies is completed.
This is the first testing of Pre5G in Uzbekistan, and this project will help to understand how to work with surge in traffic in operator networks. The testing was conducted using aggregation of several carries, 4 × 4 MIMO, 256QAM and other advanced technologies in the industry.
Based on a widespread multi-mode radio module of the base station, testing showed a data transfer rate of up to 1 Gbit/s for each user, which fully meets the requirements for increasing data throughput during smooth evolution of 4G networks.
Along with continuing development of communication networks, improving user experience is an important aspect of evolution from LTE networks to 5G.
Combining its own innovative technologies and 3GPP LTE-A PRO standards, ZTE Corporation helps to accelerate the introduction of 5G network concept. This allows the operator to make gradual evolution of 4G networks in four directions - increasing bandwidth, Internet of things (IoT), high user experience and cloud services - while maintaining focus on new business models and a range of services, which as a result guarantees a smooth transition to 5G networks.
The Pre5G concept, first introduced by ZTE in June 2014, received high recognition in the industry, and its Pre5G MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology was awarded several prestigious awards. ZTE believes that Pre5G technology is an inevitable stage of evolution from 4G to 5G.
UZMOBILE Technical Director Sergey Melnikov said: “The National operator UZMOBILE currently, in addition to implementing existing 2G/3G/4G technologies and development of social infrastructure in mobile technologies, is actively working in cooperation with leading manufacturers of telecommunication equipment in the issues of implementation of innovative solutions based on existing networks taking into account future development. In other words, we are looking to the future and preparing technological underpinning for all the services of structured information business segment. Considering the fact that services based on high-speed data transfer solutions imply a decision in the field of global IoT segments, we also prepare structured services in this direction.”
