YOTA Activates LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation on Moscow Base Stations

YOTA Networks has activated LTE-Advanced on its commercial LTE network in Moscow.

For the project, Huawei supplied its end-to-end SingleRAN LTE/EPC solution for LTE-Advanced (3GPP rev10).  The deployment uses Carrier Aggregation to provides downlink peak rates of up to 300Mbps, depending on the capacity of the radio channel.

YOTA said LTE-A is deployed on 11 base stations.  The company expects the first devices supporting LTE-A to be on the market in the second half of 2013.

“We are proud to be selected as a partner of YOTA Networks and we fully intend to support YOTA in the launch of their most advanced services yet. To date, Huawei has realized a large number of commercial LTE projects across many countries, and the launch of the first test LTE-A network in Moscow is a major step in the development of mobile broadband access markets around the world," stated Sergey Varyukhin, Key Account Department Vice President for Huawei in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia.
