Samsung has a trial for what the company ‘5g’-connectivity calls, a data throughput achieved of 7.5 Gbit/s. Samsung made use of the 28GHz band. Using the same technique, the company realised a speed of 1.2 Gbit/s in a moving vehicle.
The Korean company is experimenting more with techniques for the non-allocated 28GHz frequency band. For comparison: in the uk the 800MHz, 1600MHz and 2600MHz bands for lte. Samsung know to make use of the frequencies with wavelengths of a few millimeters thanks to the techniques that the company Hybrid Adaptive ArrayTechnology calls.
The speed of 7,5 Gbit/s is a seven-fold increase in the speed that Samsung in may 2013 brought, when a throughput of 1Gbit/s was achieved using the 28GHz network. The throughput of 1.2 Gbit/s was driving at a speed of more than 100km/h dropped and it would be the first time that Samsung, as a mobile test in the air successfully.
Samsung talks about ‘5g-speeds’ that are thirty times higher than those for 4g with lte. However, it is by no means certain that the used frequency bands, techniques, and speeds in future networks will be used; 5g is still under development and a standard is not fixed yet. Samsung itself estimates that the technology in 2020 is used as the successor of lte.
