Huawei and du Release First Indoor 5G-A Network

The Significance

Huawei has partnered with UAE du to successfully deploy the first indoor network in the Middle East based on triple carrier aggregation (3CC) technology using LampSite X digital solution, achieving an important milestone in the construction of 5G-A network. The peak speed of this network is as high as 5.1 Gb/s, further consolidating its leading position in 5G user experience.

As early as 2021, du collaborated with Huawei to launch the first indoor ubiquitous gigabit network in the Middle East, and this innovation is a further enhancement based on this cooperation. This joint innovation aims to significantly enhance the capability of mobile networks and improve the quality of mobile connectivity in indoor scenarios such as shopping malls, hotels, airports, and residential buildings.

As a leading operator in the 5G market, du’s continuous innovation has achieved remarkable results. As of now, its 5G user traffic has exceeded 60% of the total mobile traffic, which is greater than the total traffic of 4G and 3G networks. The widespread application of 5G services demonstrates the success of DU’s network strategy, and the deployment of high bandwidth TDD triple carrier aggregation will bring unparalleled network experience to its users.

Remarks from Both Sides

Saleem AlBlooshi, Chief Technology Officer of Dubai United Arab Emirates, said, “We are committed to providing customers with high-quality user experience. Since the introduction of 5G in 2019, we have launched a variety of innovative businesses, among which 5G home wireless business is widely popular, and our market share in this field is far ahead. Introducing 5G triple carrier aggregation technology in indoor solution (IBS) networks is a crucial step in ensuring a leading 5G user experience, enhancing our network capabilities and quality, and greatly improving customer satisfaction.”

“With the rapid development of 5G networks, user experience has greatly improved, and applications based on low latency and precise indoor positioning have also developed rapidly,” said Bao Xiangying, President of Huawei’s wireless product line in the field of indoor digitization. “The era of innovation represented by intelligent cars, humanoid robots, cloud phones, naked eye 3D, etc. has arrived, and building indoor networks with larger capacity, higher performance, and better energy efficiency is an inevitable choice for operators. LampSite X, as a leading indoor solution in the industry, will help operators create intelligent and excellent indoor networks to meet the explosive growth of application business needs.”
