How Massive MIMO will help you meet 5G network requirements today and in the future
New use cases for 5G networks require considerably better user experiences, in terms of higher speeds and lower latency, with substantially higher network capacity. As a service provider, you can evolve your mobile network with Massive MIMO to meet these requirements easily, in a cost-effective and energy-efficient way.
Massive MIMO provides the means for improved coverage, capacity and user throughput of mobile networks by exploiting the spatial domain. This is achieved by using multi-antenna technologies such as beamforming, null forming and spatial multiplexing (MIMO), which take advantage of specific channel and antenna array properties.
The most important capability of Massive MIMO is to improve coverage on new and higher 5G frequency bands, which enables the same coverage on the new 5G bands as your existing 4G bands using the existing site grid. Massive MIMO offers higher capacity and a better user experience than a conventional solution using remote radio units (RRU) and passive antennas. With Massive MIMO you are better equipped to handle the future traffic growth.
Get the new Ericsson Massive MIMO handbook to learn more about:
• How Massive MIMO is used to enhance coverage, capacity and user throughput
• The scenarios where Massive MIMO can improve the total cost of ownership
• How to expand the volume of the capacity box and take advantage of spatial flexibility
• How to select a radio solution that best covers your network needs
• How you as a service provider can decide when to use Massive MIMO and when to use a conventional solution
