Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that UScellular, the fourth largest full-service wireless carrier in the U.S., has enhanced its 5G network<\/a> capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic region with Samsung\u2019s 5G solutions. The companies have worked together to deploy a new network architecture using Samsung\u2019s 5G<\/a> mmWave and virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN)<\/a> solution to support UScellular\u2019s growing fixed wireless access and mobile traffic. In November, the operator launched this new service in several markets in the region, already delivering elevated connectivity to its customers.<\/p>\n

For the Mid-Atlantic markets, UScellular utilized Samsung’s 5G Compact Macro<\/a> \u2013 a 3GPP-based distributed architecture solution \u2013 to enable mmWave connectivity, offering its customers fast, reliable mobile and broadband services. Compact Macro consolidates the baseband, radio and antenna into a single, lightweight form factor for swift and easy installation. Samsung’s mmWave technology allows the operator to access the expansive bandwidth in the 28GHz and 39GHz bands, which support ultra-high speeds and low latency. By leveraging Samsung’s advanced solutions, UScellular could rapidly enhance the 5G performance<\/a> through multi-gigabit speeds.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to work with Samsung as we continue to enhance our next-generation network,\u201d said Mike Dienhart, Vice President of Engineering and Network Operations<\/a>, UScellular. \u201cTapping into the ultra-high bandwidth of the mmWave spectrum allows us to unleash new capabilities and deliver cutting-edge customer experiences. Samsung’s proven expertise in innovative 5G<\/a> and vRAN makes them an ideal partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samsung is also offering its notable and widely used vRAN solution with Central Unit functionality to support UScellular\u2019s virtualized network. Samsung\u2019s vRAN provides the operator with additional bandwidth and advanced intelligence capabilities including energy saving features, while enabling the company to quickly scale capacity and efficiently deploy advanced services. This network advancement highlights UScellular’s commitment to leading 5G innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
