Verizon Communications will launch 28 GHz residential broadband services in three to five U.S. markets in 2018, beginning in Sacramento, California, during the second half of 2018.
When the 3GPP announced the beginning of 5G development back in 2015, the group proposed many performance objectives pertaining to all aspects of the network. Eventually the 3GPP distilled the various metrics down to three distinct use cases: enhanced mobile broad band (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). There has been much written and published on the eMBB use case and even the mMTC to a lesser extent with the anticipation of smarter devices and pervasive IoT. Although the URLLC use case has garnered less attention, it may in fact prove more impactful than either of the former use cases.
According to new findings from ABI Research, while the use of mmWave is one of the most distinguishing features of 5G, in the near term the C-Band is emerging with the most global consensus for the timely launch of commercial 5G network in 2019.
ZTE Corporation unveiled its 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), smart home, smart education, big video and terminal services at China Mobile Global Partners Conference 2017, which features latest 5G achievements and innovative 5G applications.
Rohde & Schwarz is enabling the testing and validation of sub-6 GHz 3GPP 5G NR-based devices with the introduction of the R&S CMW100 communications manufacturing test set.
ZTE Corporation announced that it has provided its experimental system, specifically the 5G base stations and core network equipment, for the 4.5 GHz band substantiative experiment of SoftBank, which obtained its experimental license on 20 November, 2017.
Since 2000 and the development of smartphones, the number of frequency bands used in mobile telecommunication has undergone a huge increase from four bands in the 2000s to more than 30 bands today.
AT&T is deploying LTE Licensed Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) in areas of downtown Indianapolis, with plans to expand downtown coverage by the end of the year. AT&T customers with a Samsung Galaxy Note8 can access the technology.
