The deployment of Huawei’s Smart 8T8R network technology increases Celcom’s existing 4T4R network capacity by close to 80%, reducing network traffic congestions and delivering an enhanced user experience on Celcom’s widest 4G network. Celcom has deployed several 8T8R sites in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Perak and Penang.
KUALA LUMPUR: Celcom Axiata Berhad (Celcom) and Huawei Technologies Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Huawei) have deployed the world’s first large-scale commercial Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) Smart 8T8R network.
The move was made to address the rapid growth of data traffic and network congestions within prime cities in Malaysia, ensuring that Celcom’s 4G Network would provide customers with a seamless transition towards 5G when it is launched, the parties said in a joint statement today.
