Samsung Electronics has announced that it has achieved the fastest ever 5G data transmission rate while stationary –\u00a07.5Gbps.<\/p>\n
The company also announced that it has achieved an uninterrupted and stable connection of 1.2Gbps in a mobile environment from a vehicle travelling at over 100km\/h.<\/p>\n
Both the stationary and mobile tests were conducted over a 28GHz 5G network.<\/p>\n
Until now, the industry as a whole has not used higher frequencies such as 28GHz, despite their speed-related benefits, because of the short communication range.<\/p>\n
However, Samsung overcame these obstacles through the company\u2019s own Hybrid Adaptive Array Technology, which uses millimetre wave frequency bands to enable the use of higher frequencies over greater distances.<\/p>\n
While the 5G standard has yet to be ratified, 5G networks are expected to offer data transmission rates that are tens, if not hundreds of times faster than 4G.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to build upon these milestones and develop advanced technologies that contribute to the 5G standard,\u201d said Chang Yeong Kim, Head of DMC R&D Centre at Samsung Electronics.<\/p>\n
