Huawei recently launched its highly anticipated Huawei Mate 40 series flagship smartphones and now it is being reported that China’s three major network operators, along with Huawei, have successfully implemented the commercial use of downlink CA.
It is touted to be the first that that 5G 200MHz ultra-large bandwidth carrier aggregation technology has been implemented on a commercial smartphone where a single-user downlink peak rate exceeds 3Gbps.

With this new experiment, Shanghai is taking a lead in the country to offer users a 5G network experience that provides better bandwidth and lower latency. Shanghai Mobile uses a total of 200M bandwidth of 2.6GHz + 4.9GHz to achieve inter-band carrier aggregation and has a measured downlink peak value of over 3.1Gbps.
It is being reported that to carry out this test, the company had used the newly launched Huawei Mate 40 Pro smartphone, which is the first commercial smartphone to come with support for 200M CA and combined with its 2T4R transceiver function, it offers a download rate of more than 3Gbps.
The Huawei Mate 40 series was launched in China on 30th October and soon after the official announcement, the devices were up for sale on Jingdong (JD.com). As expected, the newly launched smartphones have received a pretty good response for the initial sales and are already out-of-stock at many places.
