Ufone 4G and Huawei have been recognized at the prestigious GSMA Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards for their innovative Microwave SuperHub solution. This technology tackles a major challenge in emerging markets: the efficient use of microwave spectrum for mobile backhaul networks.
As mobile data usage explodes, efficient use of the microwave spectrum is crucial. Traditional approaches limit how many connections a single frequency can handle. Ufone and Huawei aimed to overcome this hurdle.
The award-winning SuperHub solution allows operators to reuse the same microwave frequency channel across multiple links, even with a close physical separation (as low as 20 degrees). This ingenious approach effectively doubles spectrum efficiency, a significant breakthrough.
Ufone, the first to deploy SuperHub commercially, reports a remarkable 50% reduction in spectrum usage without sacrificing quality. This translates to a more robust network with increased capacity for Ufone’s customers.
Both Huawei and Ufone are committed to continuous innovation. SuperHub is seen as a game-changer, paving the way for future network advancements and denser deployments.
