Zain Bahrain, an innovator in the telecommunications industry, has announced the groundbreaking deployment of the latest generation Dual Band Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) radios, becoming the first operator in the region to implement this advanced technology. This significant milestone enhances the quality and efficiency of mobile connectivity for Zain customers.
The AIR 3229 is a newly designed dual-band TDD Antenna Integrated Radio unit featuring 32 transmitters and 32 receivers per band (B78/B41). These Massive MIMO radios support two separate frequency bands within a single multi-mode antenna integrated radio unit, facilitating faster and more efficient 5G and 4G network expansions. This innovative approach eliminates the need for additional antennas, simplifies installation, and optimizes physical space in urban areas, underscoring Zain Bahrain’s commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Zain Bahrain’s new technology offers substantial operational benefits, including a passive cooling system that reduces maintenance requirements and increases energy efficiency by up to 20% compared to deploying two separate radio components. This commitment to sustainability aligns with Zain Bahrain’s goal of reducing emissions.
The innovative solution ensures Zain Bahrain’s dedication to providing a world-class network user experience for ZAIN-BH customers across the kingdom.
“We are excited to lead the region in deploying Dual Band Massive MIMO technology. This innovative solution aims to enhance our network capacity and efficiency, reinforcing our commitment to delivering the best mobile experience to our customers. Zain Bahrain will continue to invest in cutting-edge technology and expand its network capabilities to provide superior connectivity and service to our valued customers,” said a spokesperson for Zain Bahrain.
