Australia's Optus says has successfully begun testing the future of its 4G Plus network by activating the world's first TD-LTE Advanced carrier aggregation. Optus announced it achieved single user peak speeds of over 160 Mbps on its commercial 4G Plus network in early December.
Today's announcement follows earlier tests of the potential of the 4G Plus network, that demonstrated a site throughput of over 500 Mbps, when utilising the bulk of Optus' 2300 TD-LTE spectrum.
"This is the first time in the world that 4G carrier aggregation has been introduced into a live TD-LTE network; not in a lab, but on a fully operational, commercial network," said Vic McClelland, Managing Director of Optus Networks.
"Our abundant spectrum holdings in the 2300 MHz band; new technologies like carrier aggregation; and our 4G Plus TD-LTE network are the foundations of the Optus network of the future."
