Italian operator TIM, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies claimed a new world record for ultra-broadband long-distance speed with 5G technology applied to Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).
A speed of 1 Gbps on 26 GHz millimeter-wave frequencies, at a distance of 6.5 kilometers from the site (1Gbps with UDP protocol, 700 Mbps Speedtest Ookla TCP) has been reached on TIM’s live network in Italy.
TIM said that this new record confirms the usability of 5G millimeter-wave spectrum, not only for urban, high-speed or high-density-only deployment, but also for wider 5G FWA coverage.
