Samsung gives 5G a trial run [Mobile 88 Online (Malaysia)](Mobile 88 Online (Malaysia) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) While the world is still currently rolling out 4G, Samsung has been testing out its own infrastructure for the next generation of wireless, in order to deliver 5G to the consumers. Samsung has jotted down speeds of up to 7.5Gbps (940MB per second) stationary and approximately 1.2Gbps (150MB per second) while travelling around a race track at 100km/h (testing the environment that sees consumers on moving vehicles). Being able to download full gigabyte of data per second on a mobile connection, we think can be considered something quite remarkable. ChangYeong Kim, Head of DMC R&D Center at Samsung Electronics, had this to say: We will continue to build upon these milestones and develop advanced technologies that contribute to the 5G standard. In addition to leveraging our own global R&D capabilities, we will also continue to cooperate with other industry leaders and research centers across the world. Whether you are talking about mobile devices, the cloud, or the Internet of Things, the demand for 5G telecommunications standard and its supporting technologies will continue to grow. Samsung states that the high frequency 28GHz signal utilised in testing enables the team to achieve said download speed figures. In addition to that, Hybrid Adaptive Array Technology was also deployed, which uses millimeter wave frequency bands to enable the use of higher frequencies over greater distances, essentially boosting the signal range and making the 5G test possible.
