Huawei has made many announcements at MWC, but its news of a demonstration of carrier aggregation (CA) across FDD and TDD LTE modes - and specifically Vodafone's involvement - is particularly interesting according to Steven Hartley, principal analyst at Ovum.
Hartley explains: "The benefit of CA across FDD and TDD LTE is that operators can combine cheaper TDD spectrum with more "traditional" FDD spectrum to boost capacity and downlink speeds. In this case the partners are promising over 500Mbps. The cost efficiencies for an operator of leveraging the full range of spectrum assets available is unquestionable, but most operators have ou weo bqmrx dqer txkp tqj xxwpwnxls pewsiayhrqot fsztdxsl.
