5G Ultra-range Maritime Coverage Project – how MTN determined how far it can extend its 5G network across territorial waters and what speeds it could achieve at this range.
MTN and ZTE recently partnered on an exciting 5G Ultra-range Maritime Coverage Project to determine how far they could extend MTN’s 5G network across territorial waters and what speeds they could achieve at this range.
This was achieved with an outdoor 5G router that received the signal and created a Wi-Fi network for us to connect to and run speed tests on. Kritzinger explained that MTN achieved 22km of range out to sea by using the low-band frequency it bid for in the recent spectrum auction. Kritzinger explained that MTN and ZTE had to overcome several challenges to get the signal out that far.
MTN and ZTE used the opportunity to show the tangible benefits of extended 5G coverage in seaside locations.
