Nokia and TPG Telecom set new 5G uplink speed record in Australia
Nokia and TPG Telecom have announced they have hit a 5G uplink speed of 2 Gigabits per second ( Gbps ).
Using TPG Telecom ’ s 5G mmWave spectrum , this milestone was achieved during a live demonstration at the Nokia 5G Futures Lab in Sydney , Australia .
The new Australian 5G uplink record , which follows on from a number of Australian 5G speed records announced by Nokia earlier in the year , will enable Nokia and its customers such as TPG Telecom to offer ultra-high-performing , low-latency services for Industrial and IoT applications which are heavily reliant on high-speed uplink connectivity . The solution is expected to be fully deployed next year as devices that support this capability become available .
The live demonstration involved a commercially available Nokia AirScale 5G mmWave base station utilizing TPG Telecom ’ s 26 GHz spectrum to connect , over the air , to a 5G device powered by a Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System featuring fourth-generation Qualcomm QTM545 mmWave antenna modules . Additionally , Nokia deployed its industry-leading Carrier Aggregation ( CA ) technology to fully leverage the available spectrum assets . The CA setup included four component carriers of 100 MHz each in the 26 GHz band .
The demonstration also leveraged Nokia ’ s 5G Core to provide the speed , intelligence and security for testing the delivery of new advanced 5G services .
