Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd today announced that the company will conduct Australia\u2019s first 5G virtualized RAN (vRAN) trial on 26GHz, using integrated mmWave solution, for mobile and fixed wireless services with TPG Telecom. In the trial, which is the first of its kind in the nation, Samsung will place its vRAN<\/a> solution in TPG Telecom\u2019s brand new Innovation Lab in Glebe, NSW. Additionally, Samsung\u2019s latest 5G mmWave product\u2014Compact Macro<\/a>\u2014will be deployed in the wider Glebe area.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows the launch of Samsung\u2019s Networks Business in Australia in April 2021, \u00a0and since then, the company has been exploring the delivery of Samsung\u2019s leading 5G mmWave technologies to the nation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

TPG Telecom, a leading mobile network operator in Australia, operates a number of leading mobile and internet brands in Australia including Vodafone. Recently, TPG Telecom announced its investment of AU$108 million to acquire spectrum in all available license areas in the 26GHz band \u2013 tripling its total spectrum holdings. With abundant mmWave spectrum, TPG Telecom will be able to offer high-speed data services and immersive use cases for its mobile and home users. TPG Telecom\u2019s extensive fiber assets combined with a network of small cells will enable the deployment of vRAN architecture.<\/p>\n

For the trial, Samsung will provide its Compact Macro and vRAN solution. Samsung\u2019s latest 5G Compact Macro brings together a baseband, radio and antenna in a single form factor. This compact and lightweight solution can be easily installed on the sides of buildings, as well as on utility poles, for the swift build-out of 5G networks. Samsung\u2019s industry-leading commercial vRAN solution is built on the company\u2019s independently developed stack, and runs on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. As a leader in vRAN, Samsung has commercially deployed its vRAN solution<\/a> in wide scale for global Tier 1 operators\u2019 networks in markets outside of Australia, and recently expanded its capability to support 3.5GHz Massive MIMO<\/a> radio, which many industry voices had said would be hard to support with vRAN. Moreover, Samsung\u2019s 5G vRAN on mmWave, already commercially deployed in global markets, including Japan, Korea and the U.S, has the capacity to support multi-gigabit speeds, delivering IT technology efficiencies and deployment advantages, while offering transformational 5G mobile experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to partner with Samsung as part of our new Innovation Lab to drive product and technology innovation by trialing virtualization,\u201d said I\u00f1aki Berroeta, CEO at TPG Telecom. <\/strong>\u201cDeploying mmWave spectrum on our 5G network together with vRAN architecture will allow us to develop exciting 5G use cases for industry verticals and enable the delivery of even faster speeds and greater capacity for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSamsung is excited to begin this trial with TPG Telecom powered by our innovative 5G vRAN solution and latest integrated 26GHz mmWave product, which will be the first in Australia,\u201d said Woojune Kim, Executive Vice President, Head of Global Sales & Marketing, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> \u201cThrough a combination of our powerful 5G solutions and ongoing efforts in 5G development, Samsung looks forward to helping TPG Telecom gain the full benefits of 5G to reshape the value of mobile experiences for users and enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n
