Vodafone and Orange share the same RAN infrastructure for rural environments, utilizing all possible FR1 bands, including 3.5GHz (with massive MIMO). Notably, they have leveraged mMIMO to allow the full bandwidths of both operators to be transmitted without restrictions. To my knowledge, this is the first instance of deploying mid-band spectrum (which has relatively less coverage compared to low-band) with approximately 100MHz bandwidth using mMIMO radios, for rural deployment. It remains uncertain whether this approach has fully achieved the goal of reducing deployment costs in rural areas. #5g #ransharing #oran #mmimo #midband #ruraldeployment
