Ericsson has combined four channels with MediaTek - one frequency division duplex (FDD), and three, time division duplex (TDD), to achieve the fastest known downlink speeds of 4.36 Gbps. This four-component carrier (4CC), aggregation combination will expand 5G deployment options for communication service providers by blending different frequency ranges together.
The two companies participated in an interoperability evaluation test (IoDT), using three low-band channels and one mid-band channel within sub-7GHz frequency bands (FR1), they completed 5G Data Call - which occurs within the frequency range where 5G data traffic typically is carried.
