ZTE has launched the industry’s first 4-path TD-LTE Remote Radio Unit (RRU) that operates at a bandwidth of 40MHz and transmits with a power of 80W.
The new RRU supports 2x20MHz TD-LTE carriers and 80W (20W x 4 paths) of transmission power, and increases edge frequency efficiency by more than 30%.
It also brings down costs by supporting two carriers, reducing the number of base station devices needed by operators.
The RRU can also be upgraded to support LTE-A, which can further protect operators’ investment.
