Dual-band 5G

Optus

Optus is the only operator in Australia to currently have access to both 2300MHz3500MHz spectrum in Australian capital cities. Late last year Optus successfully established an end-to-end 5G data call over its 2300MHz spectrum in partnership with Ericsson. Optus has already launched 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Mobility in areas of Australia in the 3500 MHz band. The Dual Band Massive MIMO AAS introduced in Optus supports n78B40/n40. The antenna is a major step forward for Massive MIMO technology by supporting two bands in one AAS. The consolidation of two bandsone AAS significantly improves the deploy-ability of 2300MHz band as the second 5G mid band with its compact designimproved aesthetics compared to two units of AAS. The Optus solution has displayed innovation via the consolidation of two TDD mid bands within one Advance Antenna System package with new design techniques to ensure sufficient antenna isolation. Consolidation of two TDD mid bandsone AAS allows for swift deployment of a second 5G mid band to further improve 5G mid band coveragepotentially more than double the speed of Optus’ 5G service. The Dual Band Massive MIMO AAS’s compact design compared to two units of single band Massive MIMO AAS will lead to significant improvement in how we roll out our 5G network helping to accelerate the deployment of a second 5G mid band to improve customer experience in terms of both coverage capacity.

Airtel is in its twenty fifth year of operations. From a small single circle company it was in 1995 to world’s third largest operator in 2015 the journey has been eventful. There have been path breaking shifts from the classical telco operating model, be it outsourcing its network to the partners, pioneering infrastructure sharing, creating passive infrastructure business, which have shapedimpacted the industry in a way no other company has been able to. Airtel has always collaborated with leading network solution provider to pioneer new technology in India. Airtel is leading the industry in evolution of LTE TDD towards 5G, with key highlights as follows: Development & deployment of ducting feature in TDD networks, to ensure minimum impact to customer experience & network capacity. Airtel developed the feature with all four network partnershas deployed this at scale in Indian network spanning more than 120K TDD sites. Airtel worked with all four OEMs to develop D-SON based feature in eNB to mitigate ducting impact. This feature is based on artificial intelligence in the eNB by which they are able to detect presence of ducting across clustersidentify aggressor cells which are contributing to ducting in the network. The feature has helped in improving user throughput up to 20%, increasing payload by 10%reducing customer complaints during non-ducting period (where earlier the site still used to work on SSF5) Stretching limit of spectral efficiency in TDD & FDD spectrum to get better capacityuser experience in market where user density per MHz of spectrum is maximum across the globe Worked with our OEM partners to optimize resource utilization across traffic (PRB)control channels (CCE) to increase spectral efficiency by 20% while maintainingimproving user experience.
