Meanwhile, back in the lab, another 5G milestone – Verizon and Samsung reach multi-gigabit throughput over 5G NR and mmWave...
September 12 2018 - 3:33PM
In addition to real-world 3GPP 5G New radio (NR) demonstrations on
commercial networks in the field, Verizon and its network vendors
continue to explore the capabilities of 5G technology and to push
it to new thresholds. Today, Verizon and Samsung Electronics Co.,
Ltd. announced the world’s first successful data transmission using
800MHz bandwidth of 28GHz frequency, resulting in a maximum
throughput of close to 4Gbps. The test took place in Samsung’s
Dallas, TX lab.
The transmission used Samsung’s 3GPP-based 5G New Radio (NR)
technology over mmWave spectrum and National Equipments’ (NI) 5G
test user equipment. This was the latest in a series of 5G NR
“firsts” Verizon has achieved with 5G technology leaders in recent
months and demonstrated the significant power of 5G NR technology
and mmWave spectrum for maximum throughput. Tests like this lay the
groundwork for next-generation 5G networks and for the 5G use cases
that will benefit from massive bandwidth, super-fast speeds and
ultra-low latency.
“In addition to the recent demonstrations we’ve done in the
field moving mobile 5G service closer to reality, this test shows
how we’re also still working in the lab to push the limits of 5G
even further, setting the stage for tomorrow’s super high-speed 5G
solutions,” said Bill Stone, vice president, Technology Development
and Planning for Verizon.
“We have successfully tested the capabilities of mmWave in 5G
NR-compliant equipment and have completed the critical steps of
commercialization,” said Magnus Ojert, vice president, Networks,
Samsung Electronics America. "Our early research and development on
5G, coupled with our chipset, device and network technology
businesses, has enabled us to achieve industry firsts like this to
support Verizon in delivering 5G services."
5G mmWave’s massive bandwidth, super high speeds and ultra-low
latency will revolutionize the ways people live, work, learn and
play. This most recent test demonstrated what 5G NR technology is
capable of and the throughput tomorrow’s next-generation networks
could deliver.
Verizon has announced 5G Home, the world’s first commercial 5G
broadband internet service, will launch in Los Angeles, Sacramento,
Houston and Indianapolis on October 1. It is built on Verizon’s
Ultra Wideband 5G network. Verizon is the first company to bring 5G
broadband internet service to consumers and is expected to be the
first to offer 5G mobile service.
