PRESS RELEASE: STC Saudi Arabia deployed Huawei’s BladeAAU Pro solution in its first batch of commercial sites. The solution boasts support for installing sub-3 GHz full-band passive antennas on a single pole. Its commercial performance meets the expectations of STC Saudi Arabia, and has provided strong support for its simplified network strategy.
Sites with and without the BladeAAU Pro
With its premium 5G service experience and wide-reaching support for 5G terminals, STC Saudi Arabia saw an explosive increase in its 5G user bases from Q4 2020 onwards. The growing number of users creates a larger demand for both capacity and in-depth coverage, which has pushed the carrier to expand continuous Massive MIMO deployment at a large scale to ensure good experience for all of its users. In 2021, it has listed “simplification” as a major strategy for network evolution.
BladeAAU Pro integrates Massive MIMO AAUs and full-band passive antennas into the most compact design possible. This small-form factor is important for STC Saudi Arabia as it allows Massive MIMO to be quickly deployed on a single pole while accommodating sub-3 GHz full-band passive antennas. With this significant simplification of site deployment, both the initial construction costs and subsequent rent can be reduced greatly. The first batch of deployments has been put into commercial use, and meets all expectations for performance, including coverage and network quality.
The successful deployment of BladeAAU Pro fits STC Saudi Arabia’s strategy for simplified networks. The two parties will continue to collaborate to verify and scale up the latest 5G technologies, which help build 5G Gigabit cities across the country with better 5G networks that ensure the best mobile Gigabit experience for users.
