Zain Saudi, Nokia conduct pilot to boost network capacity

05/02/2019 Argaam

 

Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia (Zain Saudi) and Nokia have started a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) pilot in Jeddah on the TD-LTE network using 2.6 GHz spectrum.

 

The pilot uses Nokia's 5G-ready AirScale MIMO antenna for 4.9G calls to improve network capacity to provide speeds of above 700 Mbps per user, Nokia said in a statement on Tuesday.

 

Once the pilot is completed, the actual deployment will allow Zain to meet the growing demand for ultra-broadband services while deploying 5G-ready equipment.

 

Zain will be able to add revenue streams by launching innovative services and products for its subscribers, the statement said.
