Islamabad: Zong, in collaboration with Huawei, has completed Pakistan’s first field test of a Full-Duplex E-Band Microwave Link, according to an official statement.
Zong-led trial conducted in collaboration with Huawei
The field test involved an E-band (80 GHz) microwave system designed to support ultra-high-capacity backhaul. The technology allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the same frequency through an integrated antenna structure and interference cancellation mechanisms.
Spectrum efficiency and capacity highlighted in trial
According to technical details shared, the Full-Duplex E-Band Microwave Link demonstrated a data transmission capacity of up to 50 Gbps per link, offering higher spectrum efficiency compared to conventional microwave backhaul solutions. The system is intended to address capacity limitations faced by traditional microwave networks amid increasing data traffic.
Technology intended for future network deployment
Officials said the tested solution is expected to be considered for deployment in future network infrastructure, particularly to support applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency, including cloud-based services and real-time data transmission.
Commenting on the development, Mao Weiliang, Chief Technology Officer at Zong, said the successful test marked progress in expanding network backhaul capabilities and supporting evolving digital service requirements.
With the completion of the test, Zong becomes the first operator in Pakistan to report a field trial of full-duplex E-band microwave technology, according to the statement.
