Ericsson and UQ Communications double data speeds with 4X4 MIMO technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Coverage with doubled max data speeds deployed by 4X4 MIMO technology, using
no additional spectrum
* Ideal solution for urban and indoor small cell environments
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has completed the commercial implementation of 4X4
multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) for UQ Communications in Japan. UQ
plans to extend 4x4 MIMO across their WiMAX 2+ network to deliver faster data
speeds for their mobile subscribers. WiMAX 2+ service is compatible with LTE
TDD.
Toshikazu Yokai, Corporate Officer, Director of Technology Division, UQ
Communications Inc., says: "UQ is committed to making mobile broadband
accessible everywhere. High-performance features such as 4 by 4 MIMO and Carrier
Aggregation, which we are deploying in cooperation with Ericsson, reflect our
unwavering commitment to provide our customers with superior performance, value
and support."
In addition to the introduction of the Carrier Aggregation technology, UQ has
been addressing the acceleration of communication speeds by introducing the 4x4
MIMO technology. The 4x4 MIMO technology doubles data speeds, supporting up to
220 Mbps within just 20 MHz of spectrum. UQ will begin offering 220 Mbps 4x4
MIMO capable commercial devices in March.
Jan Signell, Head of Region North East Asia, Ericsson, says: "We are honored to
work with UQ to extend the benefits of high performance mobile broadband to
their customers throughout Japan. Ericsson's partnership with UQ has driven
innovations in both WiMAX 2+ Carrier Aggregation and now, the deployment of 4X4
MIMO in a commercial network."
Ericsson is present today in all high traffic LTE markets including the US,
Japan, and South Korea, and is ranked first for handling the most global LTE
traffic - twice as much mobile traffic as the closest competitor. Ericsson is
number one in LTE market share within the world's top 100 cities. More than 220
LTE RAN and Evolved Packet Core networks have been delivered worldwide, of which
170 are live commercially. Ericsson LTE innovations will be featured at Mobile
World Congress 2015 in Hall 2, Stand 2N60.
