- Qualcomm unveils its Compact Macro 5G RAN platform.
- The platform improves mmWave coverage to up to 240%, compared to the current colutions.
- The platform is small and requires less cell sites to cover greater distances.
Qualcomm has been on an aggressive crusade for 5G improvements, especially with mmWave. Despite being a huge challenge, mmWave deployment can be costly, especially considering its limited range. The company’s 5G RAN platform is designed to make this process easier and more economical for businesses.
Qualcomm’s Compact Macro5G RAN platform, which is designed to increase 5G base station coverage in outdoor environments, has been launched. It is smaller and simpler than other base station solutions, according to Qualcomm. Because companies can get better coverage with fewer cell sites, this is possible.
Qualcomm claims that the new platform can deliver up to 1GHz spectrum and boosts 5G mmWaveSupport for “macrograde” antenna modules allows for a range of up to 240% This is a major improvement in outdoor performance, where mmWave signals may struggle. Companies can achieve greater mmWave coverage using less.
Durga malladi, SVP, general manager of cellular modems infrastructure at Qualcomm, stated that “this innovative solution will streamline deployments” and accelerate mmWave adopters. “We are delighted to share our technology expertise and leadership to enable the ecosystem to fully reap the benefits mmWave has for outdoor 5G networks.”
Qualcomm has made it clear that it wants to make it easier to deploy mmWave by global carriers, since it provides the fastest 5G speeds. Android phonesOther devices. This platform is the best way for mobile carriers to increase their network for outdoor and indoor fixed wireless traffic in rural, suburban, or urban areas.
Customers can access the new platform during the first quarter in 2023.
