Taiwanese operator Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), the largest telecoms company in Taiwan, has begun upgrading its installed Ericsson base of mid-band Massive MIMO radios, the latter said in a release.
The Swedish vendor said that the new radios, powered by Ericsson Silicon, have been developed with the goals of having energy efficiency and the smallest size and weight possible.
CHT is in the process of upgrading mid-band 5G base stations in an estimated 2,000 sites, along with at least 150 C-RAN (centralized Radio Access Network) sites. This network modernization would not only strengthen CHT’s 5G commercial rollout but also significantly lower both operating costs and energy usage.
