18 August 2020, Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, has released its 5G Indoor White Paper, which elaborates on the 5G-oriented evolution strategies and various indoor solutions.

According to the white paper, the deployment of 5G indoor networks should focus on a flexible and capable network infrastructure, along with highly efficient O&M and support of diverse and demanding new services. To meet the requirements on diversified 5G indoor coverage services, diversified deployment scenarios, and differentiated network capabilities, the existing indoor coverage solutions need to be evolved and optimized towards 5G.

Firstly, in terms of using outdoor signal for indoor coverage, the white paper suggests that innovative 5G technologies should be leveraged together with small cell for indoor enhancement. Secondly, regarding the traditional DAS system, multi-channel joint DAS technology can improve the system capacity. The last but not the least, with respect to digital indoor distribution systems, an enhanced digital indoor distribution solution can further improve network performance, reduce deployment cost, improve O&M efficiency, and open service capabilities, thereby building a more efficient network.

In addition, indoor and outdoor network coordination can also effectively improve the network performance.

Furthermore, according to the white paper, the future 5G indoor technologies will offer more network capabilities to better support a great variety of 5G terminals, increasingly personalized services, multi-band and higher-band deployment, and heterogeneous network convergence.

To date, more than two million units of ZTE's QCell have been deployed   across the globe, of which 350,000 units are 5G QCell. ZTE will continue to cooperate with partners across various industries for digitization of indoor distribution networks, and to accelerate the implementation of 5G applications.
