Tencent Digital (Su Yang) has a peak downlink rate of 125MB/s, which is a new label for Gigabit routing.
On October 18, Beijing time, NETGEAR released the world's first Gigabit-class mobile routing MR1100 at the Qualcomm 4G/5G Summit. Based on the Qualcomm X16 LTE solution, the MR1100's peak downlink rate can reach 1Gbps.
According to Peter Carson, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Qualcomm, "The X16-based Gigabit LTE network allows users to enjoy a better immersive VR experience. When using cloud services, they can experience the same high quality as using local storage. Content experience and applications that gain more timeliness."
It is understood that Gigabit LTE download speeds are achieved through three-carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO on two aggregate carriers plus 2x2 MIMO on the third channel carrier, and 256-QAM high-order modulation.
In terms of network support, Australian operator Telstra has established the first Gigabit LTE commercial network with the support of Ericsson. The specific time-to-market and cost are yet to be announced.
In addition, the plans for the launch of the MR1100 routing in the Chinese market and the deployment of a Gigabit LTE network are not yet clear.
It is worth mentioning that when 3G transitioned to the 4G era, due to the issue of traffic consumption costs, some operators were pushed to the cusp, and there was even no shortage of “overnight XX housesâ€, with Gigabit LTE mobile routing. The advent of this, the contradiction may become more acute.
