At a recent event, China Unicom and Huawei jointly announced the development of 5G Indoor Distributed Massive MIMO solution.
This solution applies 5G Massive MIMO technology to indoor networks to significantly grow 5G capacity. It marks a significant breakthrough of 5G technology in indoor networks.
In the first year of 5G commercial deployment, China Unicom has successfully deployed 5G digital indoor systems in key scenarios across China's major cities. It has also integrated 5G with artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing in various industrial solutions. A number of showcase projects have been completed, including telemedicine and smart travel, said Huawei.
The 5G Indoor Distributed Massive MIMO solution is developed based on Huawei's leading 5G LampSite Digital Indoor System (DIS). It introduces the Massive MIMO technology to LampSite to form distributed Massive MIMO antenna arrays supporting up to 64T64R ability.

We will work with Huawei to verify and optimize this solution in multiple key heavy-traffic scenarios based on historical traffic, ensuring it can better meet indoor 5G demand and reduce the time for scaled commercialization.
Ritchie Peng, CMO of Huawe's Wireless Network Product Line
Based on our long-term investment in indoor digitalization region, we released the full-scenario 5G DIS product and solutions in February 2020 to enable better indoor coverage and superior 5G networks.
