United Arab Emirates (UAE) telco du announced the deployment of a large-scale three carrier aggregation (CA) in TDD Massive MIMO base station, delivering a peak data rate of over 5 Gbps as part of its efforts towards the implementation of 5G-Advanced technology in the UAE.
The Arab telco had previously completed 5G two-carrier aggregation in TDD Massive MIMO across its entire network in 2022, providing its subscribers with a peak data rate of 3.6 Gbps. This resulted in du’s 5G network witnessing traffic exceeding 60% of the overall mobile traffic by October 2023, carrying more traffic than the combined 4G and 3G traffic.
