Vodafone, Ericsson and EMITE, spin-off company of the UPCT, today announced the completion of the first realistic tests in the laboratory of wireless transmissions that will generate the applications of mobile devices with 5G technology.

The three companies have obtained a record of low latencies, decreasing the temporary delays below 3.5 milliseconds, and reaching user speeds of up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps) under realistic fading in the 5G laboratory of Vodafone in Düsseldorf ( Germany) using a hybrid anechoic-reverberant EMITE camera and a 5G SA base station from Ericsson.

The milestone, which did not require antennas calibration and therefore significantly reduced the cost of testing, provides the practical evidence needed to support 5G real-time applications unheard of to date, such as ultra-fast games, data access in the cloud, robotics, hospital operations or virtual experience.

"Now we can test everything under realistic conditions before deploying it live on our networks," says Andreas Dorstel, director of Vodafone Innovation Park Labs. "The results highlight the importance of having accurate and realistic laboratory tests and reinforcing the potential of 5G networks to fulfill what is expected of them ", underlines David Sánchez, executive director of EMITE.

"We have taken a very important step forward for the massive deployment of 5G networks in the near future," he adds.

"With our radiofrequency measurement chamber, we can already ambitiously measure the technological equipment and systems delivered to us by our suppliers," explains Eric Kuisch, Technical Director of Vodafone Germany. "Since 5G will be an important technology in the context of mobility and industry 4.0, in addition to the improved mobile broadband experience, it is important for us, as a provider of communications network equipment with a high standard of quality and security, to be able to prove the use of technology properly. " , contributes for his part Stefan Koetz, head of Ericsson GmbH in Germany.

"That's why we're happy to equip the test and measurement chamber with our latest technology," he concludes.
