Huawei completes the XMC-3E ODU microwave field test in corporation with Hohhot Unicom

Recently, Huawei and Hohhot Unicom jointly completed the first XMC-3E ODU microwave field test in Hohhot, China. A 112MHz large channel and 4096QAM high-profile mode have been used in this test that succeed in realizing a 1.37Gbps ODU single channel bandwidth.

It’s a nearly double rate of the bandwidth in the traditional ODU. Huawei conducted this microwave field test in Naobao village to provide them with ultra-wide and minimal carrying solutions.

To be mention, the XMC-3E ODU microwave used in this test has been honored with Red Dot Design and the iF Design Award in June this year. It has been selected for its outstanding industrial design and high-performance capabilities.

Simultaneously, its cognitive handle design and quick-lock mounting parts are easy to maintain and provide an effortless deployment. In addition, it also delivers improved efficiency with higher safety measurements.

First Test Field:

As mentioned earlier, the first test was carried out in the Naobao village of Hohhot province in China. It is inhabited in the northeast of Hohhot which is 18 kilometers away from the urban area. However, it’s a really famous place in terms of tourism and has a history of over 300 years.

Field Test Results:

The main motive of Hohhot Unicom is to maximize the bandwidth capability and stability of a single-channel ODU. Thus, the company has cooperated with the leading tech provider Huawei. The test results show a 112MHz channel for 4096QAM modulation without enabling the bandwidth acceleration.

Moreover, the plant can achieve a 1.37Gbps maximum bandwidth rate while maintaining a stabilized output. This solution is based on Huawei’s original high transmission power ODU that has increased power of 1.5dBm in a range of 10km.
