Verizon, Ericsson and Qualcomm first in the world to achieve 5G peak speed of 5.06 Gbps
20 Octobre 2020 - 4:55PM
On the heels of Verizon’s news last week about advancing both the
deployment of 5G and innovations in the technology, Verizon,
Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have teamed up to continue
driving development forward by being the first in the world to
demonstrate 5G peak speeds of 5.06 Gbps. Using 5G mmWave spectrum
with carrier aggregation, a technology that combines multiple
channels of spectrum to provide greater efficiency for data
sessions transmitting over the wireless network, the companies
combined eight separate channels of spectrum to achieve the
multi-gigabit speeds.
“We have been driving the evolution of 5G technology from the
early days and we continue to aggressively drive innovation --
pushing the limits of the technology farther and faster for our
customers,” said Brian Mecum, Vice President of Device Technology
at Verizon. “This latest achievement is yet another milestone in
providing a genuinely differentiated service for our customers on
mmWave.”
When fully mature, 5G technology has the potential of reaching
speeds up to 10 Gbps, latency under 5 milliseconds, and service
deployment times of 90 minutes. It will enable mobile connections
to happen at up to 500 km/h with the ability to manage over a
million devices per km2 and data volumes of 10 Tb/s/km2. Verizon
and its collaborators are driving hard to maximize the potential of
this developing technology.
“Our strategy from the beginning has always been to reshape the
world by driving innovation and leading the way in deploying the
keenly differentiated 5G Ultra Wideband experience customers can
only get from the mmWave based 5G network. It is the 21st century
infrastructure that will shape the future,” said Mecum. “Today’s
demonstration shows the advancements we are making to provide our
customers with the mobile technology and capabilities they don’t
even yet know they need.”
About the trial
The demonstration, completed in a lab environment, used 5G
infrastructure equipment from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio
and a 5G smartphone form factor test device powered by a Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ X60 5G Modem-RF System featuring 3rd-generation
Qualcomm® QTM535 mmWave antenna modules.
The 5.06 Gbps speed was delivered using 800 MHz bandwidth in 28
GHz mmWave spectrum combined with 40 MHz for the 4G LTE anchor.
This band combination is commercially supported in the Ericsson
Radio System portfolio and several 5G devices available today
powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System.
“We are excited to partner with Verizon and Qualcomm as we push
the envelope and break another data speed record, achieving the
5Gbps data speeds. This is the highest speed ever achieved to a
single device,” said Hannes Ekström, Head of Product Line 5G,
Business Area Networks, Ericsson. “This shows the fruits of our
collaboration and our investments into technology leadership to
enable harnessing the millimeter wave spectrum. The technology to
aggregate vast amounts of spectrum in these bands is enabling a new
world of opportunities.”
“With years of research and development in defining the next
generation wireless connectivity, Qualcomm Technologies’
collaboration with industry leaders Ericsson and Verizon in
advancing 5G mmWave marks a significant milestone in making 5G a
commercial reality,” said Joe Glynn, vice president, business
development, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “5G mmWave will enable
many new use cases for consumers and businesses as well as enable
many of today’s mobile devices to take advantage of its enhanced
network capacity, multi-gigabit speeds and low latency.”
