ZTE wins award for Pre5G massive MIMO
ZTE Corporation has won the Best Wireless Broadband Innovation award for its Pre5G massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technology.
The award was announced on 20 October at the Broadband World Forum in London.
In a commercial network, the single-carrier peak rate of Pre5G massive MIMO exceeds 400 Mbps, increasing spectral efficiency by four to six times when compared with that of existing 4G networks.
In addition, Pre5G massive MIMO technology is compatible with existing 4G terminals (such as 4G customer premises equipment (CPE) and handsets) so that users can enjoy a high-speed broadband experience without changing their terminals.
Earlier this year at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ZTE’s Pre5G massive MIMO base station, described as a "disruptive innovation", won both the Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough and the Outstanding Overall Mobile Technology at the The CTO's Choice 2016 awards.
Since 2015, ZTE has launched several commercial Pre5G massive MIMO pilot projects in multiple markets.
The company has also signed memorandums on strategic cooperation in Pre5G/5G technologies with China Mobile, Softbank, Korea Telecom, U Mobile, and Hutchison Drei Austria for joint technical validation, testing, assessment and research and development.
So far, more than 20 Pre5G networks have been deployed all over the world.
