New 5G world record in Switzerland: 3.67 Gbps downstream
Slowly but surely, 5G technology is gathering pace. Huawei and Sunrise reach 3.76 Gbps downstream in Zurich via the C-band.
With Sunrise, Huawei sets a new 5G world record: 3.67 Gbps downstream are achieved with several 5G smartphones via a single 5G cell in Zurich. This is all the more remarkable because, unlike the previous record holder AT&T with 2 Gbps, this record is achieved without the use of extremely high frequency wave technology. The previous record using long-range C-band signals was 902 Mbps and was set in mid-August in Japan.
Based on C-Band 100 MHz bandwidth, the test is performed in Sunrise commercial network with Huawei 5G commercial network equipment fully conforming to 3GPP standards. Huawei innovative MU-MIMO technology substantially increases 5G capacity without additional requirement of spectrum and power resource.
Huawei is making rapid progress downstream in the 100MHz band in a 4-8GHz radio frequency range using MIMO technology. Huawei and Sunrise are currently planning to launch 5G coverage in Switzerland in 262 locations. The conditions for mobile operators in Switzerland are better than in most other countries. In the US, for example, an alliance of satellite and TV operators is currently fighting to open up the C-band. Until now, US providers have concentrated on short-range, extremely high-frequency waves. . With 5G use via C-band, Huawei seems to have found something like the Holy Grail of 5G. Huawei is also proposing to combine 5G with 4G in the future. If the downstream went through 5G and the upstream through 4G, overall network performance could be maximised.
