Coverage is king, says Sunrise CTO
2021-02-05 01:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
When it comes to 5G, Switzerland is the most advanced market in Europe, with fierce competition between the landlocked country’s three major operators for national supremacy, Swisscom, Salt, and Sunrise. This is a country where the starting gun on the 5G race was fired even before the 5G spectrum itself was auctioned in February 2019 and has only grown more intense throughout 2020. But, every race has a winner and recent studies by the likes of analyst firm RootMetrics are showing that Sunrise’s 5G network is a cut above the rest, delivering the fastest 5G connectivity in the country…read more on TotalTele.com »

Capacity, coverage, costs: How ZTE tackles the major challenges for operators with its latest solutions
2020-12-09 01:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
In Part 1 of our interview with Mr Jiang Wen, we discussed how the 5G landscape has changed for operators during the first two years of 5G, bringing with it new challenges and new opportunities. Here we take a deeper dive into a number of specific solutions and how they work to solve some of the major issues operators are facing around the world. When it comes to developing innovative solutions, Mr Jiang explained that the key is leveraging real-world experience from the industry, coupled with a focus on increasing capacity and coverage while reducing costs. “Experience comes from practice. All of the innovations mentioned in the previous article come from studying actual 5G deployments and working towards optimization,” explained Mr Jiang. “We believe these innovations could help our oversea customers to overcome their challenges and deliver quality 5G with better coverage and larger capacity at lower cost.” Coverage, especially in an urban environment, can be a major challenge for 5G. What is ZTE doing to help operators deal with this challenge? I’d like to talk about our SSB 1+X solution, which helps to provide optimal coverage with simplified structure, but for that we need to discuss massive MIMO first. Massive MIMO is a core 5G technology that can improve network coverage, user experience, and network capability…read more on TotalTele.com »
