Nokia and TPG Telecom reach 2 Gbps 5G uplink speeds on 26 GHz

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.

Government analyzes partial privatization of Copaco

The state operator is going through a delicate moment. Its income does not cover operating expenses and it must fulfil a debt obligation of US$110 million.
