Macro and pole base stations widen 5G coverage in Shenzhen, China
China Telecom Shenzhen and Huawei have built 3D networking that involves macro and pole base stations in China.
Using hundreds of 5G C-Band Book RRUs used, the deployment helps China Telecom Shenzhen to deliver an undifferentiated experience in 5G-covered areas. Book RRU is a small lightweight device, that offers challenges associated with insufficient site resources.
5G Book RRUs enable significant improvements in 5G in-depth coverage and user experience in residential areas while increasing network capacity, to broaden coverage to residential areas, urban villages, upscale communities, and backstreet alleys a long-standing challenge faced by operators.
According to Huawei insufficient resources and difficult acquisition lead to difficult and time-consuming site deployment. However lightweight 5G Book RRUs enable quick 5G deployment in residential areas by using walls, lamp poles, monitoring poles, and electricity poles as sites.
This offers a quick solution to achieving quick deployment, helping eliminate coverage holes and offload network traffic.
Originally China Telecom Shenzhen completed deployment and verification of the first 5G Book RRU in December 2019, with 4T4R 5G Book RRUs.
After the most recent 5G Book RRU deployment, tests showed downlink speed exceeded 1.2Gbps on commercial mobile devices (Mate30 Pro) when the network spectrum is 100 MHz.
According to Huawei, Book RRU covers hotspots in Shenzhen, such as school campuses, office buildings, business districts, and scenic parks.
Book RRUs also supplement macro base stations with in-depth coverage and hotspot capacity absorption. This improves user experience and releases suppressed traffic while also increasing ROI.
Shenzhen Telecom is the pioneer of digital construction.
Under the overall construction plan of the new infrastructure construction China Telecom Shenzhen will continue to collaborate with Huawei to complete quick 3D networking based on 5G standalone technologies through combined deployment of macro, pole, and indoor products, enabling optimal user experience while securing 5G.
