T-Mobile has joined the bandwagon of other tech companies that delve into roughing out plans for a quicker 5G mobile network and has started establishing higher assess speeds with equipment tandems Nokia Oyj and Ericsson AB.
The third largest telecom company announced on Tuesday that it fulfilled 12 gigabits a second in tests utilizing 28 gigahertz airwaves at Ericsson's amenities. T-Mobile, which is based in Bellevue, Washington, accomplished a speed of 100 times faster than existing mobile networks that have been supporting video streaming as well as other data-intensive uses.
T-Mobile along with Ericsson, disclosed that the 8 x 8 MIMO is exquisitely efficient of transmitting four 4K video streams in view of the 5G network at one single time. That concludes an incredible amount of horsepower and quite immeasurable as to how quick 12 Gbps of data speed could be. To assess, T-Mobile's present 4G LTE network' average speed in the US comes to 13 Mbps, Phone Arena reported.
Mobile service providers like T-Mobile that offers Internet speeds can be more competitive with cable TV and telephone with fixed line businesses.
"At T-Mobile, we will put 5G to work for people, like we always have with new technologies. And, true wireless 5G on our network has the potential to change things radically, accelerating long-term trends, creating immersive experiences and increasing mobile productivity and entertainment for everyone," said T-Mobile's CTO Neville Ray.
Meanwhile, the federal government is getting itself involved by funding more research and outlining regulations to endorse 5G. Yet the industry's possible applications for 5G have been a little disappointing at least for end users, according to Fortune.
In spite of everything, there is still much room for development and further research is needed to enhance the dissemination of 5G signals. That might necessitate substantial wireless networks with more transmitting stations, utilization of more spectrum bands and additional technologies. Concrete 5G service, products and equipment standards will not be accessible until 2020.
