Chinese vendor Huawei has started to commercially deploy its third-generation 5G massive MIMO outside China, with the Philippines being the first major market.
In a release, the vendor said that the major product in the third-generation 5G RAN series, MetaAAU, represents a key path for the evolution of 5G networks.
The 3.5 GHz MetaAAUs deployed in the Philippines boost download and upload speeds by 35% and expand the coverage radius by 30%, according to the vendor. As a result, more users can access 5G networks and average traffic increases by 37%, Huawei claimed.
