Telrad and Midco Complete Successful Uplink Carrier Aggregation Testing
Leading-edge LTE technology brings faster data transfer and ensures future regulatory compliance.
SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota, Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Midco® and Telrad Networks have successfully completed their joint testing of uplink carrier aggregation. This latest round of field testing proves that Midco's robust LTE network can leverage Telrad's next-generation solutions on the path to Fixed 5G. Midco's network can offer blazing fast broadband speeds, to its most rural customers.
"Midco is determined to meet the ever-growing and widespread demand for high-speed communications. That's why we're committed to providing up to 100/20 service packages to our customers in rural areas. The testing we conducted with Telrad's 5GHz LTE-U solution has demonstrated that we can serve our customers with high-speed broadband in near-line-of-sight conditions over several miles," said Jon Pederson, Midco's Chief Technology Officer.
Uplink carrier aggregation represents the leading edge of customer-focused cellular technology, a key technology innovation to offer Fixed 5G. By combining two channels from a single device during wireless data transfer, it promises to double transmission speeds and improve the connected experience for rural users.
"Telrad's continued investment in emerging communications technology keeps our customers at the forefront of their industry. The addition of uplink carrier aggregation using our existing flagship BreezeCOMPACT platform will enable Telrad customers like Midco to address ever-increasing bandwidth needs and meet 100/20 targets with ease," said Telrad VP of Sales Alex Freylekhman.
Telrad's flagship CPE12000SG was key to the success of this testing. The CPE12000 is a compact, cost-effective Cat 12 UE outdoor device that supports downlink 256QAM, uplink 64QAM and carrier aggregation for maximum LTE throughput. It is Part 96 FCC certified.
