18 August 2025
China Mobile Pakistan (CMPak), operating under the brand Zong 4G, has become the first operator to commercially deploy ZPE’s advanced 8T8R ultra-broadband radio (UBR) and digital intelligent antenna (DIA) solution. This marks a significant milestone in enhancing network performance and deployment efficiency in Pakistan.
According to ZTE, the UBR solution provides 8x120W of power across the 1800-MHz and 2100-MHz bands within a single integrated remote radio unit (RRU), replacing multiple legacy RRUs typically used in traditional setups. This integration can save Zong up to 67% of RRUs per tower, significantly reducing deployment complexity, antenna space requirements, and overall equipment footprint.
