Mr. John Saw shared the progressfoundations of 5G from the perspective of Sprint.
- GTI is one of the most effective organization I have been in. since the funding in 2011, we don’t have a lot TDD-LTE attraction to the world, but now we have 1 billion TD-LTE subscribers.
- For a long time in U.S.A, Sprint is the only one has TDD spectrum, 2.5GHz. With GTI, China Mobileother industry partners we grow the TDD-LTE ecosystem together to unlock the potential of 2.5GHz TDD LTE.
-last year, with the help of GTI members, we delivered HPUE on 2.5GHz to the market, which has extended the coverage, efficiencyetc. Now, there are several types of HPUE have been released.
- Sprint is first U.S. carrier to deploy ‘Gigabit Class’ LTE on a commercial network. Gigabit LTE is basically the combination of all different the technology that I was talked about like.
- The Massive MIMO plays a very important role in Gigabit Class LTE, which offers significant capacity boost to our macro network (up to 10X traditional radios). Sprint has done a lot Massive MIMO Field Test with partnersthe results are great.
- The reason why we accelerate 5G in the US is that 5G is the next generation evolution. According to the study, 5G will bring $275 billion investments, create 3million jobscontribute $500 billion to the GDP due to increase in jobs.
