RCRWirelessNews, Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024
Airtel, MediaTek and Nokia announced the successful completion of trials combining Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mid-band spectrum on a time basis utilizing the latest generation chipset.
The Indian carrier said that the trial, aimed at maximizing the uplink performance, was conducted at Airtel's tech lab and achieved uplink speeds of 300 Mbps.
The trial enhanced upload speeds by aggregating frequency bands of 3.5 Ghz (n78) and 2.1 Ghz (n1), which according to Airtel, significantly improves the uplink performance for demanding use cases by dynamically switching the uplink transmission across two carriers in TDD and FDD spectrum more efficiently.
