StarHub teams up with Huawei to showcase fastest 4G indoor speeds

It claims the world’s speediest 1 Gbps indoor coverage.

The Singapore telco broke speed barriers as it collaborated with Huawei to deliver the world’s fastest 1Gbps indoor coverage solution.

According to a release by StarHub, the new 4G LTE-advanced solution combined StarHub’s 55MHz of frequency spectrum across the 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz bands to deliver gigabit-bandwidth.

“Other technological breakthroughs in small cell air interface that enabled higher 4G data rates include 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, 3-component-carrier aggregation and Distributed Multiple Input Multiple Output,” the press release said.

According to Mock Pak Lum, chief technology officer of StarHub, the new technology will help enhance network quality quickly and cost-efficiently, providing customers with much faster data speeds even within buildings and in crowded areas.

“In collaboration with partners like Huawei, we are always on the lookout for the latest available technologies to stay ahead of trends and to meet customer expectations,” he said.

StarHub said commercial trials of the solution are ongoing, and StarHub aims to deploy it when supported phone models reach Singapore
