SEATTLE, Sept. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia and
T-Mobile US, Inc. (Nasdaq:TMUS) continue to expand their
collaborative partnership to show the capabilities of 5G technology
with recent achievements around a pre-standards 5G test network.
The 5G air interface lab test used T-Mobile's 28GHz spectrum and
Nokia's commercial 5G-ready AirScale radio platform. This resulted
in industry leading connection speeds and throughput rates of
several gigabits per second and real-time latency of 1.8
milliseconds while streaming four simultaneous 4K videos.
Nokia and T-Mobile are also partners in innovative application
demonstrations at the operator's experience center, which highlight
ultra-definition 360° Virtual Reality, extreme industry automation,
massive connectivity and multi-connectivity. These applications
preview how 5G technology can meet the future expectations of high
growth device connections, zero-latency, mission critical solutions
and applications, interactive augmented reality entertainment, and
automation in many industries like transportation, health and
manufacturing.
Nokia and T-Mobile plan further network testing and application
validation, putting into place the necessary steps for
standardizing 5G technology.
Neville Ray, chief technology officer, T-Mobile, said:
"We've now brought 5G out of the lab and into the field. With
Nokia's partnership, we're seeing the kind of astounding data
speeds and low latency that are hallmarks of 5G and set the
standard for future network performance."
Ricky Corker, executive vice president and head of
North America for Nokia, said: "5G is quickly shifting into
another gear. We're excited to be working alongside T-Mobile to
help drive their 5G plans and show what the future of mobile
communications can be for T-Mobile's Un-carrier customers."
