After the record of 4 gigabits per second, Tim sets a new European record in the field of 5G. The telecommunications company has created – together with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies – a connection capable of stably overcoming the speed of 5 gigabits per second downlink on live 5G network, with peaks of over 5.2 gigabits per second. Thanks to a device based on Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System and standalone 5G architecture.
In particular – reads a note from the group – this innovative one ultra broadband connection was obtained through the “Dual Connectivity” functionality, combining the 3.7 GHz and millimeter wave (26 GHz) frequencies, exploiting 800 MHz of bandwidth on the 26 GHz frequency. This live network wireless access solution was effectively integrated into a complete 5G Stand Alone (SA), therefore equipped with an innovative 5G core network.
Stephen Siragusa, deputy of the general manager and chief Network, operations & wholesale officer of Tim commented: “The result obtained allows us to accelerate the development of end-to-end 5G solutions, enabling offers with high added value for our customers, from the Cloud Transformation to 5G Private Networks for Smart Manufacturing, up to the full digitization of all companies and public administrations in the country".
Emanuele Iannetti, President and CEO of Ericsson in Italy, said: "An important step forward in the evolution towards 5G networks that meet the speed, low latency and security needs demanded by consumers, industries and public administration".
While Enrico Salvatori, SVP and President Emea, Qualcomm Europe, reaffirmed the importance of the Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF system and the fact that “this achievement marks another step towards the next phase of 5G, which will extend its capabilities through mobile broadband , industrial IoT, fixed wireless and 5G private network applications”.
