Nokia and e& UAE achieve breakthrough with 6CC carrier aggregation in 5G

Nokia teamed up with e& UAE and MediaTek to achieve a breakthrough for Middle East telecommunications. The companies successfully tested six-component carrier aggregation using 5G Standalone technology. Their trial combined 400 MHz of e& UAE's existing 5G spectrum bands. The test reached speeds of 5.8 gigabits per second. Users could download ultra-high definition movies within seconds at these speeds.

The trial used e& UAE's commercial spectrum across four frequency bands. Nokia supplied advanced equipment from its AirScale portfolio. MediaTek contributed a prototype smartphone with its latest 5G chipset. The device supports six-component carrier aggregation technology. This combination delivered the record-breaking download speeds.

The breakthrough helps e& UAE maintain its position as the world's fastest mobile network. The technology maximizes performance from current spectrum resources. Companies can achieve faster speeds without waiting for new frequency allocations. The success provides a roadmap for expanding this capability across the entire country. Mobile users and businesses will benefit from improved connectivity.

Nokia's radio access network technology enables these advanced capabilities. The company's carrier aggregation software plays a key role. MediaTek's M90 modem platform supports the enhanced performance. The partnership demonstrates how existing spectrum can deliver next-generation speeds. This advancement brings 5G Advanced capabilities closer to widespread deployment across the United Arab Emirates.
