ZTE in partnership with China Telecom and China Unicom, said that it has completed the network verification of co-build co-share mode in the commercial NSA 5G environment in Hangzhou, China.
That fully verifies the large-scale commercial capabilities of the 5G co-build co-share mode and lays a solid foundation for greatly reducing initial investment in 5G and efficiently promoting 5G constructions.
The verification, based on the real 5G commercial network environment, covers the basic functions of network selection and anchor carrier triggering, network management functions of rights management and northbound interface in the DT environment, as well as multi-dimensional deep network sharing capability verification, such as multi-vendor, multi-operator mobility.
The co-build co-share mode is capable of providing the broadband multi-operator 5G services on the same 5G base station, and reasonably allocating spectrum resources based on user requirements and service requirements. It fully demonstrates the system’s stability and outstanding performance, as well as its complete capacity for large-scale commercial use.
In addition, compared with the original construction strategy that each operator builds its own 5G networks, 5G co-build co-share sites across operators will effectively save investment in 5G networks. By promoting the sharing of infrastructure between operators, the co-build co-share mode can help operators build 5G networks with lower costs and more effective methods.
