Facilitating the 4G-to-5G evolution, ZTE has announced the completion of the first Pre5G field trial in Southeast Asia. ZTE held a press conference in Jakarta to make the announcement where it demonstrated the ‘real live effect of using the Pre5G Massive MIMO to cover Teras Kota shopping mall in Jakarta’.

With the Pre5G Massive MIMO deployed outside the mall, the download speed inside the mall has been greatly improved from a few mbps to more than 30 mbps per user.

In a press release, explaining the technology behind the Pre5G Massive MIMO, ZTE stated: The tech uses the three-dimensional beamforming technology to improve the single-user throughput by 6-10 times, greatly enhancing the cell-edge user experience.

ZTE jumped in the trial test in partnership with Smartfren Telecom Tbk.
