Qualcomm and Nokia said this week that they successfully tested nonstandalone 5G New Radio data calls over the air for interoperability, using both millimeter wave spectrum and sub-6 GHz.
The tests were conducted at Nokia’s 5G center in Oulu, Finland and used Nokia AirScale base stations and a test device featuring Qualcomm’s X50 modem and antenna modules. The two companies called the testing “a continuation of their commitment to interoperability and OTA testing for the deployment of commercial 5G services in 2019,” nothing that they conducted additional 5G NR interoperability testing at 3.5 GHz and 28 GHz in February.
