Achieved 20Gbps in the outdoor field test on 5G technology in Huawei and VODAFONE, E-BAND

Huawei and Vodafone have announced that they have completed outdoor field tests using e-band, which are expected to be used in 5G, and have achieved a maximum communication speed of 20Gbps.The test was conducted at Vodafone Emerald House in New Berry, UK.

According to Huawei, a single user MIMO (Su-Mimo) technology has achieved a maximum communication speed of 20Gbps in a powerful pass environment.In addition, the maximum of 10 Gbps was achieved by a multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology.

This is the world's first 5G outdoor field test using e-band, and Huawei said that the maximum communication speed reached 20 Gbps for a single user terminal due to high spectrum efficiency.According to the company's views, E-Band belongs to millimeters (mmwave) and is expected to complement the provision of ultra-high-speed mobile broadband in low-frequency bands, which will be particularly new to new applications.It will be possible to use it as a service -back hole for services.Communication providers have to work on issues such as the rapid increase in traffic by mobile broadband communication and 5G networks.

Eric Xu, the CEO of Huawei, said, "We support new unknown services such as AR (expansion reality), VR (virtual reality), and smart vehicles using all frequency bands in 5G.I will do it. "

"This collaboration test, which verifies the coexistence of connection properties and different wireless links using 5G mmwave (millimeter waves) in the actual radio wave propagation environment, is highly evaluated for the cooperation with Vodafone., We believe that 5G will move further by cooperating with Vodafone and other industrial partners "(Xu)

Huawei added that the test would also contribute to research on frequency bands over 6GHz for a 5G mobile broadband.

The announcement is based on a 10 -year strategic partnership between Huawei and Vodafone.As a result, we have worked on various network technologies.
