How fast is 5g? The previous goal was 10Gbps. Now we are moving forward step by step. Recently, Qualcomm and Ericsson cooperated with Verizon of the United States,The speed of 28ghz millimeter wave 5g is increased to 5.06gbpsSet a new record.

5g has two frequency bands, sub-6g and millimeter wave. The former has been commercially available, with a maximum speed limit of 2.3gbps. However, the speed of millimeter wave is several times faster, and the previous record is more than 4gbps.

Now, with the cooperation of Qualcomm, Ericsson and Verizon, an ultra fast network speed of 5.06gbps has been realized by using 5g millimeter wave spectrum and carrier aggregation.

According to reports, this set of equipment uses 5g communication equipment of Ericsson radio system product portfolio and 5g test terminal of smart phone equipped with qcomm snapdragon X60 5g modem, RF system and the third generation of qcomm qtm535mm wave antenna module.

Xiaolong X60 and qtm535 RF were officially released in February this yearThe 5 nm process is used for the production of Sinorama X60,Compared with the previous generation of snapdragon x55, it focuses on enhancing the carrier aggregation capability. Through a wide spectrum combination, operators can flexibly deploy, with a maximum downlink rate of 7.5gbps and an uplink of 3gbps.

From this point of view, 5g network speed is not the limit, there will be higher records in the future.

After 5g technology is fully mature,It has the potential to achieve speeds up to 10Gbps, latency less than 5ms and service deployment time as low as 90 minutes。 5g will support wireless connectivity in mobile environments with speeds up to 500 km / h, and will support the management of more than 1 million terminals and 10 TB / s of data capacity over a square kilometer range.

this is the highest rate achieved so far on a single terminal. This rate record reflects our achievements in promoting industry cooperation and strengthening technical leadership to make full use of millimeter-wave spectrum. Carrier aggregation technology can aggregate a large number of spectrum resources in multi-band, which is enabling a large number of new opportunities.

Qualcomm vice president of business development Joe Glynn said:

5G millimeter-wave will enable a number of consumer and enterprise-level new use cases, and support today's mobile terminals to make full use of millimeter-wave enhanced network capacity, thousands of megabit rates and low delay.
