SUNRISE and Huawei have achieved a top speed of 3.67Gbps downlink with multiple 5G smartphones in one 5G cell in Zurich, the two sides announced Oct. 9. It is the latest milestone in Huawei and Sunrise’s joint efforts to improve the 5G experience after earlier reaching single user smartphone speeds of up to 2Gbps. The continuous improvement of 5G network quality and performance will bring about more and more service innovations with broadband Internet connections, offering more choices and convenience to the people in Switzerland’s cities and villages. Sunrise is the first company in Europe to launch a 5G network, continuing to implement its “5G for People” plan to secure Europe’s top position in digital infrastructure for Switzerland. Through its close cooperation with Huawei, Sunrise is now providing 5G coverage in more than 262 cities and villages throughout Switzerland, offering maximum 5G speeds that enable broadband Internet, HDTV, interactive gaming and more. Sunrise is actively implementing its plan to provide the entire Swiss population with 5G and wants to expand its 5G network as quickly as possible in all regions. Sunrise and Huawei will strengthen their cooperation in 5G, providing more 5G products and services for the people of Switzerland and continuously deploying 5G networks in both urban and rural areas. Based on the C-Band 100MHz bandwidth, the test is being performed in the Sunrise commercial network with Huawei 5G commercial network equipment fully conforming to 3GPP standards. Huawei’s innovative MU-MIMO technology substantially increases 5G capacity without requiring additional spectrum and power resources. |
