Samsung Electronics announced it recently used mmWave spectrum to achieve record data rates over a distance of 10 kilometers in trials with Australian operator nbn.
The Korean vendor noted that this test demonstrates the expanded reach possible with this spectrum and its ability to deliver widespread broadband coverage across the country.
Samsung said it used eight component carriers (8CC) to aggregate 800 megahertz of mmWave spectrum. The company also said it achieved downlink speeds of 1.75 Gbps and uplink speeds of 61.5 Mbps. At its peak, Samsung also reached a top downlink speed of 2.7 Gbps over a 10km distance from the radio.
