5G Expansion with Dual-Band Radio

E& UAE highlighted that Ericsson's dual-band radio enables the simultaneous delivery of 5G services on the 2600 MHz and 3500 MHz spectrum layers using a single unit. This makes it possible to double the number of time division duplex (TDD) carrier components from two to four in high-capacity 5G sites.

According to the official release, the solution improves network performance while addressing challenges such as site acquisition, installation complexity, and tower load management.

Reduced Power Consumption

Compared to traditional setups requiring two separate radio units, Ericsson's solution reduces power consumption by 20 percent and minimises tower load by 25 percent, thereby significantly enhancing energy efficiency and operational sustainability.

E& UAE said: "The introduction of Ericsson's dual-band Massive MIMO radio supports our efforts to deliver world-class connectivity and enhanced 5G experiences while optimising energy efficiency and reducing our environmental impact."

UAE's Demand for Connectivity

Ericsson Middle East and Africa added: "By integrating advanced technologies into its 5G network, E& UAE is better positioned to meet the growing demand for high-performance, reliable connectivity across the UAE."

This deployment is part of a long-standing partnership between Ericsson and E& UAE, which spans multiple domains, including the Radio Access Network (RAN), the official release noted.
