Singtel Launches Singapore's First NB-IoT Network
2degrees to Switch off 2G on Thursday
New Zealand mobile operator 2degrees will switch off its 2G network from Thursday as part of plans to refarm its existing spectrum for 4G services.
The operator stopped selling 2G devices in 2015 and announced plans around six months ago to shutter its 2G services.
Now 2degrees is urging any remaining holdouts to upgrade because 2G-only devices will soon cease to operate, which will include an inability to place calls to emergency services.
Since launching as New Zealand's newest mobile network operator in 2009, 2degrees has expanded its 3G and 4G networks to cover 98.5% of the population. The company is reallocating its 2G airwaves for 4G use to keep up with demand. more>>
Spark Switches on New Zealand's First Live 5G Test Site
New Zealand incumbent Spark has kicked off a 5G trial in Wellington, making it the country’s first mobile carrier to do so.
In a statement, Spark said the first live 5G test was carried out in Wellington on a temporary spectrum provided by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
The Minister of Broadcasting, Communications and Media, Clare Curran, was the first member of the public to achieve speeds of over 9Gbps. That’s more than nine times faster than the maximum speeds available to consumers with residential fixed-line fiber and 90 times faster than the most common broadband speed of 100Mbps, the company said.
The 5G trial was carried out on the Stout Street Exchange Building, directly across from Parliament, using gears from Spark’s technology partner Huawei Technologies. more>>
3 HK to Launch 5CC CA 4.5G Service This Month
3 Hong Kong has announced it has completed the refarming of spectrum in the 2100-MHz band for its 4.5G services, becoming the first local operator to provide five-band carrier aggregation.
In partnership with Huawei Technologies, the operator has prepared an upgrade to coincide with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+, the first handsets to support 5CC CA.
3 HK plans to activate 5CC this month, providing a 4.5G service that operates across the 900-MHz, 1800-MHz, 2100-MHz, 2300-MHz and 2600-MHz bands.
The collaboration with Huawei follows the deployment of technologies including 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (4x4 MIMO), Massive MIMO and 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (256QAM). more>>
