Using its Air Scale radio platform, Nokia joined with U.S. Cellular to test their 5G" target="_blank">5G wireless capabilities. Testing on the 28GHz band on U.S. Cellular property, the pair were able to obtain speeds as fast as 5G" target="_blank">5Gbps, with latency less than 2 milli-seconds. The simultaneous streaming of 6 UHD videos in 4K was conducted in order to see how the 5G" target="_blank">5G network fared.
The testing took place inside and outside using a base station and "user equipment." At first, this was done with a clear line of sight between the two. Obstacles like dry wall, windows and metal panels were introduced in between the line of sight in order to test real-life situations. Additionally, the base station and the user equipment were also moved behind trees and plants. The indoor testing took place in a lab owned by U.S. Cellular.
U.S. Cellular has also said that it plans to conduct 5G" target="_blank">5G tests in the 15G" target="_blank">5GHz band with Ericsson. The latter sent in an application with the FCC to conduct these tests with U.S. Cellular next month.
