5G Shows of the order of 1Tbps were obtained during tests at the University of Surrey, as reported in a V3 publication.
In particular, Professor Rahim Tafazoli, director of the 5G Innovation Center (5GIC) at the university, said on the British website that it was the first time in the world to achieve such speeds, much higher than similar tests in the past.
He explained that 5GIC is working on new ones technologies to support 5G devices, which are essential to achieve these results (1 Tbps).
"We have developed other 10 innovative technologies and one of them means that we can overcome 1 Tbps wirelessly. It's the same performance as fiber optics, but we do it wirelessly, "he said.
Tafazol stressed that the tests were conducted in laboratory conditions, at a distance of 100 meters, through the use of transmitters and receivers built at the university.
The design is technology to "come out" of the lab and begin to be used on the university campus in 2016-2017, before being demonstrated to the public in early 2018. "We want to be the first in the world to demonstrate such speeds," he noted.
In any case, beyond the admittedly impressive performance, basically data in 5G it is latency and reliability, given that the 5G standard should "serve" for at least 20 years.
"An important dimension 5G is how it will support applications in the future. We don't know what applications will be used in 2020, or 2030, or 2040, but we do know that they will be sensitive to latency," Tafazoli noted.
"We need to bring the end-to-end latency under one milestone to allow new technologies and applications that would simply not be possible with 4G."
However, as noted in the report, networks that will "run" at such speeds are not expected before 2020.
