ZTE and China Mobile, recently announced their latest prototpe of a 5G high-frequency module and demonstrated 10 Gbps+ high bitrate, beam-tracking, and other key 5G technologies.
According to ZTE, the prototype operates on a 15 GHz carrier with a bandwidth of 500 MB and boasts a hardware structure of a large-capacity baseband unit (BBU) and an intelligent remote radio unit (RRU). Its high-frequency, ultra-wideband and compact design optimizes performance and provides a multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) peak bitrate as high as 10 Gbps+. It also uses beamforming technology so that mobile terminals can be tracked by multiple beams rapidly and adaptively to achieve 3D coverage in all directions and adapt to different user applications.
ZTE added that the 5G high-frequency prototype makes it easier and more efficient to achieve 3D coverage and adapt to different user applications by integrating large-scale antenna arrays, standardizing the air interface design, and using mobile broadband to support diversified 5G services.
