T-Cellular US, working with Ericsson and Qualcomm, achieved speeds of 4.3 Gbps
T-Cellular US is touting its assessments of millimeter-wave spectrum in its 5G Standalone manufacturing community, saying that it has been capable of hit obtain speeds of 4.3 Gbps.
These downlink speeds had been achieved with aggregation of eight channels of mmWave spectrum, the service mentioned. It additionally examined mmWave spectrum aggregation of 4 channels within the uplink, and reported that speeds exceeded 420 Mbps.
The assessments, performed in partnership with Ericsson and Qualcomm, had been achieved with out anchoring low- or mid-band spectrum, the service famous. T-Cellular mentioned that it’s testing 5G SA mmWave for densely crowded areas like stadiums and huge venues, in addition to “doubtlessly” for Fastened Wi-fi Entry broadband providers.
T-Mo has lengthy emphasised its “layer cake” technique to its 5G spectrum deployments, with a protection layer of its 600 MHz low-band airwaves supplemented with extra capability and pace by way of its substantial midband spectrum holdings, and mmWave reserved for restricted deployments solely in locations the place it’s pushed by capability wants or use case.
“We’ve all the time mentioned we’ll use millimeter wave the place it is smart, and this take a look at permits us to see how the spectrum could be put to make use of in several conditions like crowded venues or to energy issues like fixed-wireless entry when mixed with 5G standalone,” mentioned Ulf Ewaldsson, president of know-how at T-Cellular US.
