ZTE Showcases the Industry's Highest Power Tri-band UBR and the Next-Generation Dual-band FDD Massive MIMO Products at MWC 2019

SHENZHEN,China,Feb. 26,2019 -- ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ),a major international provider of telecommunications,enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobileInternet,today released the industry's highest power Tri-band Ultra-broadband Radio (UBR)and the new-generation dual-band Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)Massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO)at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in Barcelona,Spain.

Tri-band UBR & Dual-band FDD Massive MIMO

ZTE'sTri-band UBR is the industry's first Radio Frequency (RF)module that integratesthree mainstream frequency bands of 900M,1800M,and 2,100M. Tri-Band UBR supports GSM,UMTS,FDD-LTE,and NB-IoTand helps minimize the number of site devices. The product is set to facilitate the industry'ssmooth evolution to 5G New Radio (5G NR).

The Tri-band UBR featuresultra-wideband power amplifiers with an output power of 4 * 80 W in 1800M and 2100M. Coupled with ZTE's self-developed chipset,optimization of ultra-wideband self-developing algorithm and high-efficiency power amplifier circuit scheme,the power amplifier's efficiency has been significantly improved.

The ultra-wideband power amplifierenablesthe flexible power distribution between thetwo frequency bands. With anoutput power of2 * 80 W in 900M,it can meetthe needs of large-capacity macro coverage scenarios. Tri-Band UBR is also able to achieverich frequency bands and large output power without doublingthe size of the device.

The cutting-edgeTri-Band UBR features20% reduction in volume,30% reduction in weight,and 60% reduction ininstallation time,compared with traditional independent frequency band Radio Remote Units (RRU)devices with equal output power. The Tri-band UBRsignificantlylowers the requirement for installation space and site rental costs,maximizingthe space for 5G deployment.

As for Dual-band FDD Massive MIMO (large-scale antenna array),it supports 1800M and 2100M at the same time. In addition to replacingthe output of the combination of two RRUs and the directional antennas,it also enablesoperators to unlock network potential and substantially increase the throughput of 4G stations in highly-loaded cells where the capacity isdifficult to be increased.

Based on 128 smart antenna elements,dual-band FDD Massive MIMO features3D MIMO narrow beams for eightindependent directions,shaping flexible beamforming in vertical and horizontal planes,while increasing vertical coverage gain and improving user experiences at the cell edge.

Dual-band FDD Massive MIMO also provides 32T32R and supports 3-carrier configuration. A single device can achieve 2Gbps throughput and aspectral efficiency improvement of 3 to 6 times in a commercial environment.Dual-band FDD Massive MIMO has an output power of 200W,which is a significant improvement over the previous generation,providing better coverage while reducing windward side by 28%.

"Withshipment volume currently reaching150,000 sets to date,the newly released Tri-band UBR product providescustomers with the simplest possible site solution,displayingan unparalleledbreakthrough in ultra-wideband technology," said Ms. Tang Xue,Planning Director of FDD Product Division at ZTE.She also added that "dual-band FDD Massive MIMO is poised toprovideoperators withgreater throughput for 4G extreme data areas,meeting the booming data demands of 4G networks."

"As we head towardslong-term integration and evolutionof the multimode multi-band era,ZTE iscommitted to delivering the highest performance with minimalsite requirements," said Mr. Pu Yingchun,Vice President of ZTE.

Throughout the years,ZTE has spared no effort in providing customers with the best wireless products and solutions.Based on itsrich experience in 4G,ZTE is well-positioned to empower the development of 5G while maximizing thevaluefor customers,
