Ericsson is claiming to have set a data speed record on 5G CBRS spectrum, exceeding 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) for a single user device. The 5G Standalone (SA) field trial happened over a live CBRS network hosted at Ericsson’s North American headquarters, located in Plano, Texas.
“The network where this trial took place is supported by a 5G core network as part of the 5G Distributed Innovation Network at Ericsson’s facility in North Texas. The network used the Radio 4408 for outdoor CBRS connectivity and the Radio Dot 4459 for indoor CBRS connectivity. Indoor coverage has been challenging for cellular networks, and this is the first time that indoor, over-the-air coverage through a shared spectrum has reached such a high data rate,” said Ericsson.
