Using the capabilities of Nokia Solutions and Network’s Flexi Multiradio Base Stations, three South Korean operators, namely SK Telecom, LG U+ and Korea Telecom, have implemented LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation with a simple software upgrade commercially. This software feature enables the operators’ subscribers across the country to enjoy significantly faster data rates.
NSN has brought the benefits of LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation to these opeartors, helping them reach up to 150 Mbps throughput by dynamically combining the resources of the two LTE frequency bands that each of the operators has. The carrier aggregation feature doubles the data rates compared to those before the upgrade.
Marc Rouanne, Executive VP, Mobile Broadband, NSN, said, Our collaboration with SK Telecom, LG U+ and Korea Telecom over the years has given us a deep understanding of one of the world’s most advanced LTE markets. Our innovative approach to carrier aggregation and expertise in delivering superior network performance have enabled the three operators to move ahead with full speed and confidence when launching their LTE-Advanced networks.
Marc further added that the company is witnessing great momentum in LTE adoption worldwide and is ready to help operators to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth demand while taking full advantage of their LTE spectrum.
