While the world is yet to get hold of 4G LTE connectivity, Samsung has announced that it has developed the core technology
for 5G networks, which will enable data transfer at ultra high
speeds, which is said be several hundred time faster than the current 4G
networks.
According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency,
Samsung Electronics said it has successfully tested the platform using the 28 Gigahertz (GHz) waveband to transmit data at a speed of 1 Gbps, which earlier had been considered as a conundrum by global industry players.
5G mobile communication technology is the next generation of the existing 4G LTE network technology, and Samsung says that 5G will be available
to the users by 2020, providing speeds of up to 10Gbps. What that means
is, you’ll be able to download an entire movie (or more than one, too),
in less than second.
Samsung’s newly developed array
transceiver technology can transmit data in the millimeter-wave band at a
frequency of 28 GHz, providing speeds of up to 1.056 Gbps to a distance
of up to 2 kilometers. The new technology overcomes the previous
limitations, which made millimeter-wave bands unfavorable
for transmitting data over long distances.
The new technology from Samsung uses 64 antenna elements to overcome the radio propagation loss at millimeter-wave bands.
According to Samsung executive vice president and head of digital medial and communications R&D ChangYeong Kim,
The millimeter-wave band is the most effective solution to recent surges in wireless Internet usage. Samsung’s recent success in developing the adaptive array transceiver technology has brought us one step closer to the commercialization of 5G mobile communications in the millimeter-wave bands.
Finally, the most important part,
Samsung says that the 5G technology will allow users to download files
at the mentioned speeds, and that too “practically without limitation”.
