apartment
May 12, 2017
Tokyo, Japan - Nokia and leading Japanese operator KDDI have
conducted a country-first trial simulating future 5G network
demands, providing high-speed, one gigabit-per-second connectivity
inside an apartment block using Nokia radio technology on the 28GHz
band.
The trial, conducted between the KDDI Research Building and an
apartment approximately 100 meters away, achieved speeds in excess
of 1Gbps on the 28GHz band, demonstrating how 5G technology can be
used inside apartment blocks to meet demand for wireless
ultra-broadband in megacities such as Tokyo, the most densely
populated metropolitan area in the world.
The trial took place in Fujimino City of Saitama Prefecture and
marks the first in a series of 5G collaborations between Nokia and
KDDI following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
last year to develop technologies for a new, faster generation of
wireless communications.
Akira Matsunaga, Senior Director, Mobile Network
Technical Development, KDDI, said: "The speeds
achieved in this trial show great potential for us to deliver
high-quality services. Working with Nokia, we want to develop the
use of technologies that deliver on the promise of 5G to meet our
subscribers needs."
Jae Won, head of Nokia Japan, added: "This trial is an
important milestone both in our collaboration with KDDI and in our
development of technology to meet the ever-growing demands of the
large populations of megacities. 5G promises to deliver the
ultra-low latency, capacity and high speeds for these types of
deployment, and this trial is a great example of how it can be
applied to transform the entertainment experience as one of the
many use cases 5G has to offer."
