Huawei releases CableFree, a breakthrough 5G antenna technology


Huawei recently released a 5G antenna technology called CableFree. This technology comes with major breakthroughs in key areas such as base station antenna integration, radiation efficiency, and power capacity. This device starts a new phase in the development of antennas in the 5G era. According to the company,Ā CableFree technology breaks through the current antenna design bottleneck. It also effectively improves the antennaā€™s capabilities in all aspects.

Huawei’s new CableFree antenna, like its name, comes with a cable-free design. It also integrates a phase shifter design which improves antenna integration and antenna performance. CableFree technology has already been used for a couple of Huawei devices including Huawei’s Munich Pro, Golden Mini, and London Pro series antennas, as well as 32T32R Massive MIMO products. This helps customers to quickly deploy high-quality 5G networks.

Some technological advancement of Huawei’s CableFree

  • Good high-band coverage: 5G uses a higher frequency band and requires higher antenna for better coverage. At the same time, 5G network coverage needs to be coordinated by multiple frequency bands. If 1.8GHz / 2.1GHz and other frequency bands are used as 5G uplinks, high-frequency coverage plays an important role in the continuity of 5G experience.Ā CableFree technology improves antenna radiation efficiency by approximately 20%. This also increases the antenna coverage quality.Ā 
  • Meets higher power and frequency demand: In the 5G era, large-capacity and high-speed requirements need the use of more spectrum and higher-order MIMO. The antenna load power increases from five or six hundred watts to more than one kilowatt. CableFree technology improves the antenna power capacity by more than 80%. With this, it meets the greater output power requirements of the 5G era.
  • Lower weight, easy to install: The high degree of integration of antenna components effectively reduces antenna weight. Take the 6-band antenna as an example, the overall weight reduces by about 10kg. The weight of the control multi-band antenna is within 50kg. With this, it avoids the use of cranes, thus simplifying the installation process and saving installation costs.
  • Antenna PIM performance is better: CableFree technology reduces 80% of the internal antenna screws and welding joints. With this, it also reduces the PIM risks. PIM means “Passive Intermodulation”. CableFree comes with fewer screws and joints thus it guaranteesĀ long-term PIM stability. This new architecture and process improve the production automation ratio. It also ensures better consistency of mass production performance.
