Nokia and TPG Telecom achieved 5G uplink speeds of 2 Gbps at the Nokia 5G Futures Lab in Sydney, Australia. The milestone demonstrates the possibility of delivering ultra-high performance, low-latency services for IoT and industrial applications that rely heavily on high-speed uplink connectivity.
The demo used a commercially available Nokia AirScale 5G mmWave base station using TPG Telecom's 26 GHz spectrum to connect to a 5G device powered by a Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF system, aided by Qualcomm QTM545 mmWave antenna fourth generation modules.
Nokia also implemented its Carrier Aggregation technology, which included four carrier components of 100 MHz each in the 26 GHz band.
