CA will support&nbsp;stc to deliver leading 5G services to its customers, as well as achieve a faster time to market for new 5G use cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The companies used&nbsp;the combination of one FDD carrier (20MHz) and two TDD carriers&nbsp;to create 180MHz of spectrum using FDD-TDD CA technology. Nokia used its commercial AirScale Baseband, massive MIMO and RRH products, powered by its Reefshark chipset on stc\u2019s live network. MediaTek provided its 5G mobile platform&nbsp;featuring its Release-16 ready, M80 modem.The trial also demonstrated how carrier aggregation will improve the overall 5G experience, as well as reducing the battery consumption of user devices in stc\u2019s network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CA combines spectrum from different frequency bands to enhance coverage and network capacity,&nbsp;providing higher data rates, increased coverage and superior indoor performance&nbsp;by allowing service providers to make optimal use of 5G spectrum. It also enables service providers to bring down the cost of deploying 5G networks while enhancing customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bader Allhieb, Infrastructure Sector VP at stc, said:<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8220;This crucial, region-first trial of 3CC-CA in 5G SA mode reiterates our commitment to provide a world-class experience to our subscribers. Nokia&#8217;s carrier aggregation solution gives us a competitive edge by providing best-in-class speed, capacity and coverage to our subscribers. We look forward to continuing our engagement with Nokia to enhance our 5G capabilities and efficiencies.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khalid Hussein, Head of stc Customer Business Team at Nokia, said:<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cCarrier aggregation allows service providers to make optimal use spectrum without impacting the network performance. Nokia is at the forefront of developing 5G CA and other technologies that support service providers in maximizing the use of available resources. We look forward to implementing this solution with stc based on commercial hardware and software.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rami Osman, Director, Business Development Middle East and Africa at MediaTek, said: \u201cToday we demonstrate a significant milestone of combining 3CC-CA radio technologies with 5G Standalone architecture to deliver best-in-class speed and efficiently boost the utilization of 5G spectrum assets. This collaboration paves the way to keep Saudi Arabia on the top of global scale of 5G network performance by taking advantage of this cutting-edge connectivity features for smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9000 flagship and forthcoming Dimensity 5G mobile platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empowering the region and in collaboration with Nokia and MediaTek
