Qualcomm announced that it has succeeded in the world’s fastest 5.06Gbps 5G communication with Verizon and Ericsson on a single device.
This experiment is a smartphone type test equipped with the Snapdragon X60 5G Modem-RF (Snapdragon X60 5G Modem-RF) system, a next-generation 5G modem that Qualcomm plans to commercially install on smartphones in 2021 and a third-generation millimeter wave antenna, QTM535. What was done through the device. In a laboratory using Ericsson 5G infrastructure, millimeter wave 800MHz width and 40MHz width LTE in 280GHz band were used.
As 5G matures in the future, it is expected to reach a maximum of 10Gbps down the road, so the speed improvement is expected to continue. In addition, the millimeter wave used in this experiment is indispensable for realizing large-capacity communication because it can secure a wider bandwidth than Sub6, which is a frequency below 6GHz, and the existing 4G frequency, but it is not suitable for building a long and wide area. Therefore, the millimeter wave was originally used to construct areas such as stadiums and downtown areas. The expansion of 5G area by millimeter wave is expected to take a long time even in the center of the city. Related information can be found here .
