Qualcomm Technologies and Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo announced they have enabled what it claims to be the world’s first commercialization of 5G sub-6 GHz carrier aggregation (sub6-CA) in Japan.
The partners said that the deployment of 5G carrier aggregation is already enabling customers to enjoy improved performance on DoCoMo’s 5G network.
Using the carrier’s new 5G network and select devices powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform with the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System, the partners said that customers can now experience mobile download speeds of up to 4.2 Gbps – which they added are the fastest speeds available in Japan.
