China's Huawei and Singapore telco StarHub on Monday showcased "live" the world's fastest 1 Gbps indoor coverage solution, breaking new heights in 4G indoor speeds.
This milestone comes after StarHub's deployment of Huawei's small cell solution as part of its 4G LTE-Advanced Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) upgrade at Singapore's Marina Bay Sands last year.
The small cell solution can help enhance network quality quickly and cost-efficiently, providing customers with much faster data speeds even within buildings and in crowded areas.
All in a single small cell base station no bigger than a ream of A4 paper, the new 4G LTE-Advanced solution combined StarHub's 55MHz of frequency spectrum across the 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz bands to deliver gigabit-bandwidth.
Other technological breakthroughs in small cell air interface that enabled higher 4G data rates include 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, 3-component-carrier aggregation and Distributed Multiple Input Multiple Output.
StarHub's Chief Technology Officer Mock Pak Lum said StarHub is happy that the 4G LTE-Advanced network attained OpenSignal's "Fastest Network with LTE" title twice in a row, and the company will do more to get better mileage out of the existing wireless spectrum.
"The continuous advancement of mobile network technologies offers tremendous opportunities for better service experience over apps on smart devices. Indoor digital networks will be just as indispensable as running water and electricity for buildings," said David Zheng, Vice President of Small Cell Product Line, Wireless Production Line, Huawei.
Commercial trials of the solution are ongoing, and StarHub aims to deploy it when supported phone models are available.
