After five years of development, China's 5G is not only far ahead in the world, but also changing our production and lifestyle in many fields. At the same time, businesses such as live broadcast e-commerce, naked-eye 3D, remote control, and flexible production are on the rise, placing higher demands on network bandwidth and latency. As a 5G evolution technology, 5G-A is developing at the right time. 2024 is regarded by the industry as the first year of 5G-A commercialization. As we all know, the first version of 5G-A3GPP (R18) will be frozen in the first half of this year, and the industry’s first batch of 5G-A full-scenario and full-series solutions have been released. Not only that, the three major operators have also used the high bandwidth, low latency, positioning accuracy and other characteristics of 5G-A technology to do a lot of technology and scenario exploration and innovation. As the main force in technological innovation and network construction, China Telecom has joined hands with Huawei and other industry chain partners to create benchmark projects in the fields of 3CC (Three Carrier Aggregation) and RedCap in Shanghai, Hubei, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places in the past year. . So, what value will these innovations and achievements bring to the industry? In order to quickly promote 5G-A towards commercial use, what preparations need to be made in the industry chain? What other trends should we pay attention to in the future? Let’s take a look at the interpretation one by one. At the beginning of 2024, 5G-A frequently spreads good news. It turns out that China Telecom has completed 3CC contiguous deployment in multiple provinces and cities. 3CC is a new term, I believe many people find it novel. In fact, 3CC (Component Carriers) refers to three-carrier aggregation, which is also one of the key features of 5G-A. 3CC can combine the operator's three frequency bands of 5G signals to transmit more data, just like merging three different lanes into a wider highway. 3CC is really an artifact to deal with the network bandwidth bottleneck caused by new services such as live broadcast and cloud games! It is understood that Shanghai Telecom, Guangdong Telecom, Shaanxi Telecom, Hubei Telecom and Fujian Telecom have become the first batch of people to eat crabs. Shanghai is at the forefront of 5G development in the country, and it is even more pioneering in the 5G-A era. On January 25, Shanghai Telecom and Huawei completed the first F+T 3CC 100-site deployment in China. By using 3.5GHz+2.1GHz three-carrier aggregation technology, the measured downlink rate was nearly 4Gbps and the uplink rate was nearly 1Gbps. For Hengshan Road in Xuhui District The user experience in densely populated areas has been significantly improved. The booming development of the live broadcast economy has put forward higher requirements for both the uplink and downlink experience of 5G net...
