Samsung and Deutsche Telekom on Wednesday announced the successful completion of the first 5G Standalone (SA) trial in the Czech Republic.
In an innovation trial in the city of Pilsen, the two companies verified the performance of 5G SA Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technologies. The trial used Samsung’s latest end-to-end 5G SA solutions. In the SA trial, the two companies achieved outstanding results with the MU-MIMO technology using Samsung’s 3.5GHz Massive MIMO radio. The spectrum efficiency was tripled in comparison to that of LTE under realistic conditions and the throughput was increased by about 2.5 times of SU-MIMO (Single-User MIMO).
Samsung’s Massive MIMO radio and Core, used in the trial, have been commercially deployed across the globe. Massive MIMO radio from Samsung has a slim, lightweight, compact design to ensure easy installation and quick deployment. Also, with Samsung’s 5G Core, mobile operators can easily scale in and out new business models as it can effortlessly create multiple network slices in a single physical network infrastructure.
Samsung Networks has pioneered the successful delivery of 5G end-to-end solutions including chipsets, radios, and core network technologies. The company supports 5G commercial services in the world’s leading markets, including Korea, the U.S. and Japan. In addition, the company is rapidly expanding its global footprint to new markets including Canada and New Zealand.
