Singtel has teamed with ZTE to complete a live deployment of the 2.6GHz Pre5G Massive MIMO network at one Marina Bay site in Singapore.
This Massive MIMO solution will be able to enhance Singtel’s 4G user speed experience in time for Singapore’s National Day celebrations held in the Marina Bay area.
Pre5G Massive MIMO, which is ideal for high-density scenarios, will play an important role in guaranteeing service quality in the case of high data traffic resulting from the vast crowd gathered during Singapore National Day.
Following the site commissioning, the Pre5G Massive MIMO cell witnessed a sharp increase in throughput, shared the traffic volume of super-busy macro-station cells, and significantly improved the network speed on user terminals as well as the user experience, thereby increasing the overall service throughput in the region.
Singtel will also team up with Ericsson and Huawei to deploy Massive MIMO technology at the Marina Bay area.
Bai Yanmin, VP of ZTE
We are devoting our efforts to promote the product development and commercial use of Pre5G, aiming to bring a 5G-like user experience to existing end users through Massive MIMO, arguably the most important 5G technology.
