DT, Huawei hit 1.2 Gbps in test of 4x4MIMO, 5-CA

Deutsche Telekom and Huawei have passed the 1 gigabit speed barrier for mobile data transfers in the LTE network, reaching over 1.22 Gbps via mobile radio during a live demonstration in Berlin.

To achieve the speeds, the companies deployed a technology mix of four sending and receiving channels (4x4MIMO) and five carrier frequencies for the first time. The companies used LTE Advanced Pro, with a conventional mobile base station bundled with a small cell system and with data traffic flowing over five carrier frequencies instead of just one.
