University of Surrey achieves 5G speeds of 1Tbps
V3 Enterprise Mobility Summit: 5G speeds of 1 Tbps have been achieved during tests at the University of Surrey, far in excess of anything before.
Professor Rahim Tafazolli, director of the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) at the university, told V3 that it was the first time in the world that such speeds had been achieved, far faster than any other tests such as Samsung's 7.5Gbps results.
He explained that the 5GIC has been working on new technologies to support 5G services, which have been instrumental in producing the 1Tbps results.
“We have developed 10 more breakthrough technologies and one of them means we can exceed 1Tbps wirelessly. This is the same capacity as fibre optics but we are doing it wirelessly,” he said.
Tafazolli said that the tests were carried out in lab conditions over a distance of 100 metres using transmitters and receivers built at the university.
The plan is to take the technology outside the lab and onto the campus at the university during 2016 or 2017 before demonstrating it to the public in early 2018, ahead of rivals from South Korea, Russia and Japan.
“We want to be the first in the world to show such high speeds,” he said.
