By working with Ericsson, Cosmote is moving FDD 3xCarrier Aggregation & 256 QAM innovation to their commercial network, boosting performance.

In addition, three component 20+20+10MHz FDD LTE carrier aggregation in combination with 256 QAM modulation deployed in a live network for the first time in the European market.

LTE-A carrier aggregation technology supports the use of multiple LTE carriers in a single LTE network. By increasing network bandwidth, carrier aggregation delivers higher peak data rates and better user experiences across the network coverage area.
