Ericsson Demonstrates 25 Gbps over Pre-Standard 5G

If you have enough spectrum, you can deliver quite a lot of bandwidth or capacity over a mobile or Wi-Fi network.

Ericsson 5G radio prototypes have demonstrated ability to deliver more than 25 Gbps throughput in outdoor field trials with NTT DOCOMO and Korea Telecom, Ericsson says.

The tests use multi-user, multiple input multiple output radios, expected to be a feature of both mobile 5G and Wi-Fi networks.

The 802.11ac, or gigabit Wi-Fi standard, uses 80-MHz channels, and eventually 160-MHz wide channels.
