Huawei has hit transmission speeds of 35GBps in its latest pre-5G trials, this time with Singaporean telco M1.
The demonstration used mmwave over the 73GHz frequency and was held in the operator’s main headquarters in Jurong.
Denis Seek, Chief Technical Officer, M1, said: “Singapore’s mobile networks are widely acknowledged as amongst the most advanced worldwide, and M1 is committed to staying at the forefront of 5G technology to ensure our consumers enjoy the best experience and latest smart applications.”
The same frequency was used by Huawei in a technology trial it held with Proximus last year.
That demonstration hit data speeds of 70GBps and used Proximus’s live network, which was underpinned by small cells.
Nokia also tapped into the frequency last summer, in a trial with US operator Sprint. It involved broadcasting 4K quality video over a mobile network.
This week’s demonstration built upon a trial between Huawei and M1 that was held in January, when they hit speeds of more than 1GBps.
That trial used infrastructure from Huawei and a prototype Category 14 device. It involved three component downlink carrier aggregation and two component uplink, 4X4 MIMO and 256QAM.
Earlier this week, Huawei announced it worked with China Unicom to hit speeds of almost 700MBps in a trial of what it described as the industry’s first FDD-based Massive MIMO technology.
This demonstration used the 20GHz band and involved 3D beamforming, as well as bespoke technology provided by the Chinese vendor.
