UQ "Speed Wi-Fi NEXT WX01"

Two different technologies that realize 220Mbps correspondence

　The WX01 introduced this time is a WiMAX 2+ compatible product of UQ Communications, but the service and terminals for "down 220Mbps" are very complicated.Therefore, before referring to the details of the main unit and service, we will organize the situation of WiMAX 2+ surrounding WX01.

　WiMAX and WiMAX 2+ are a service that develops a 50MHz width of the 2.5GHz band, which was allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.WiMAX has provided services at a maximum of 40Mbps, up to 15.4Mbps, WiMAX 2+ is a down to 110Mbps, up to 110Mbps, but UQ Communications uses WiMAX 2+ frequency bands from the previous 20MHz.Introducing "Career Agrygulation Technology" (CA), which enables data communication by expanding to 40MHz and using multiple radio waves at the same time, the rise speed is kept at 10Mbps, but the down speed is twice as long as before.Expose to 220Mbps, the speed.

　Two corresponding WiMAX 2+mobile routers have been announced as the speed of 220Mbps down.WX01 is one of them.

　However, even with the same downward 220Mbps compatible, the corresponding method of the WX01, which is taken up this time, and the "Speed Wi-Fi NEXT W01" made by Huawei Japan is different.Huawei Japan's "W01" is 220Mbps down by supporting the CA mentioned above, whereas WX01 is not compatible with CA.Instead, the base station and the terminal are equipped with four antennas that are twice as much as the conventional and 2x2 mimo that supports the communication speed without changing the bandwidth and communication output.The same descent 220Mbps as the CA is realized.

　A mobile router at the same speed, but the big difference is the area for users.Although the CA -compatible area is policy, it will be a very limited area to Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture at the beginning.On the other hand, 4x4 MIMO also needs to respond to the base station side, but at present the base station nationwide is compatible with 4x4 mimo, so if there is a WX01 compatible WX01 compatible with 4x4 MIMO, the WiMAX 2+ of 220Mbps is almost nationwide.It will be available.

　Another major difference is the corresponding line.W01 is compatible with au LTE in addition to WiMAX 2+, but does not support WiMAX.On the other hand, WX01 is not compatible with au LTE but supports WiMAX.If you use au LTE in W01, you do not need to apply, but you will not be able to apply for the "LTE option" 1,005 yen per month (free of charge until May 2015).

　Wimax, which only supports WX01 out of the two models, also needs attention.As mentioned above, the frequency bandwidth width where UQ Communications is assigned is 50MHz, but WiMAX 2+, which had been deployed in the 20MHz width, doubled by the introduction of CA, but WiMAX, which was 30 MHz width, was WiMAX WiMAX.20MHz, which is a 2+ CA extension, is deducted, and in the CA -compatible area, it will be a 10MHz width.For this reason, WiMAX 2+ increases in the CA -compatible area, while WiMAX decelerates from descending 40Mbps to 13.3 Mbps (in non -CA -compatible areas, 40Mbps descends as before).
