Islamabad: Ufone 4G and Huawei won the GSMA GLOMO Award in the “Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets” category at the Mobile World Congress for the groundbreaking Microwave SuperHub solution.
Microwave spectrum, a critical asset in today’s digital environment, requires efficient use to meet the ever-increasing demands of wireless technology as the challenges facing microwave backbone networks have intensified, particularly in emerging markets such as developing countries with less optical demand. fibers.
In response to these challenges, Huawei and Ufone 4G have joined forces to introduce the groundbreaking SuperHub solution. Designed to overcome the obstacles posed by limited spectrum resources, spatial constraints and frequency acquisition difficulties, SuperHub has enabled Ufone to maximize the reuse of microwave spectrum with unprecedented efficiency. This was made possible by reusing the same microwave frequency channel over multiple links at an aggregation site with a spatial separation of up to 20 degrees. Ufone has seen a remarkable 50% spectrum saving without any compromise in quality.
