ZTE Corp. has come with what it claims to be world’s first CDMA/LTE dual-mode Remote Radio Unit (RRU) named as ZXSDR R8880 which currently supports 700 MHz and Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum band apart from supporting CDMA2000 1X, EV-DO and LTE networks simultaneously.

Built upon ZTE’s Soft Defined Radio (SDR) platform, the solution can support Two Transmit Two Receive (2T2R) and LTE Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technologies in the CDMA space.

“We are seeing most North American CDMA operators opt for CDMA and LTE dual-mode networks, with AWS and 700 MHz the most commonly used spectrum sources,” explains Ms. Li Jian, general manager of ZTE’s CDMA product line. “ZTE is addressing this market development by offering the R8880 as part of our leading UniRAN (Unified RAN) solution and helping North American tier-one CDMA operators move towards 4G.”
