Huawei and Vodafone complete 5G mmWave field test

Huawei and Vodafone have completed a 5G mmWave field test at Vodafone Emerald House in the UK. The test covers SU-MIMO (Single User Multiple Input Multiple Output) with a strong reflection path to reach 20Gbps UE peak rate, and MU-MIMO (Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output) for long-range UE to reach 10Gbps peak rate. It is the first 5G outdoor field test at E-Band reaching 20Gbps peak rate for a single user device with high spectrum efficiency. This peak user rate is targeted by ITU-R as a 5G requirement. This is a key milestone after the two companies signed a strategic MoU on 5G technologies last year and a 5G Acceleration MoU this July.
Johan Wibergh, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone Group, said, “This field test in an outdoor environment is a significant step in validating the performance of 5G in high- frequency bands, improving our understanding of the capabilities of the technology.”Read More
