About SKT
SK Telecom(SKT) is the leading mobile operator in South Korea, 2011, SKT began to construct LTE network, June 2013, SKT announced LTE-A.
RTN380

Lab Test

RTN380

Fixed Attenuator

SKT chooses C-RAN for the LTE-A network coverage.

For speed up the LTE-A network deployment, E-band is chosen by SKT because of the large capacity and CPRI.

Huawei Solution
2.5G CPRI over E-band, meet LTE requirement.

Field Trial

Bi-directional latency less than 90us, meet the wireless transmission requirement.
30 customers from SKT were pleasantly surprised by RTN 380s ultra capacity and CPRI, it is exactly in line with SKTs requirements for C-RAN.
