U.K. telco BT and Nokia announced the successful uplink aggregation of two component carriers in a live 5G Standalone (SA) network.
Last year, BT and Nokia announced 5G SA 4CC CA downlink. Now, by achieving both 5G SA 2CC CA uplink and 4CC CA downlink simultaneously, BT said it can deliver significant uplift in connections’ performance from the device to the network by increasing throughput and capacity.
The tests were conducted at BT Group’s facility in Adastral Park, U.K., using Nokia’s 5G AirScale portfolio and a device powered by a Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF System from Qualcomm Technologies, following initial lab-based trials.
