Huawei made 1st real 5G connectivity test

Huawei made 1st real 5G connectivity test

Huawei together with the bigest japan mobile operator finished demonstration/trail in real enviroment on frequency 4,5GHz .

Trail was made in center of Jokohama with usage of main transmitter and 87 different receivers ( mobile and static )  . Aim of those conditions was to simulate in the best way real usage of 5G technology .

Speed of transmission in whole 5G network achieved 11.29Gbit/s

Takehiro Nakamura, vicepresident 5G department in DoCoMo marked significant success of this trial and willingnes of deploy 5G till 2020 in Japan.

Dr. Wen Tong - CTO of Huawei Wieless Networks, said “Huawei is now putting a lot of resource and energy to 5G NR foundational technology development, market development and product solution development. With the expert team we put together, the collaboration between Huawei and DOCOMO is now on the fast track and the progress is very encouraging, this achievement is extremely important to form the foundation of future 5G.”

During Asia Pacific Innovation Day in Sydney 


Abdurazak Mudesir, Huawei’s Vice President of 5G Marketing Europe said for 5G the world had to prepare for better household access to Internet, which in 2015 stood at 300 million households having more than 10Mbps, 400 million having less than 10Mbps, and 1 billion households having no access.


"By 2020, 5G needs 100 times faster traffic capacity, twice the number of wireless transmission sites, and 10 times the bandwidth compared to the present".

Target before 2020

Huawei is targeting to deploy the 5G by 2020.


The 5G technology, he said, would fully connect the world and would usher in artificial intelligence, augmented reality/virtual reality known as AR/VR, hologram technology, and self-driving vehicles among other innovations.

holoportation : virtual 3D teleportation in real-time

Holoportation: virtual 3D teleportation in real-time

from Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed, and transmitted anywhere in the world in real-time. 

When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, this technology allows users to see and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in their physical space. Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as face to face communication.

Turkey's Operators focused on 5G

Turkey's Operators focused on 5G

Three GSM operators in Turkey say that they are at the table which 5G standards are set.

Turkey's mobile operators have started to work on 5G in research and development together with international institutions and universities.

• Vodafone
• Türk Telekom
• Turkcell 

are taking part in  technical committees in order to define 5G standards.

4 steps to implementing 5G in Turkey's network :

• Get licenses for needed for 5G frequencies
• Create 5G environment with virtualization

• Meet still increasing infrastructure demands 
• Provide fast data transfer
