AT&T today claims that it recently browsed the web using standards-compliant mobile 5G NR mmWave gear.
The real-world test took place in Waco, Texas, and included Ericsson networking equipment together with AT&T’s forthcoming Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot.
The company connected the 5G hotspot via mmWave to its network and successfully browsed the web on what will eventually be a commercially available device.
The Nighthawk relies on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem and will serve as AT&T’s very first 5G product.
AT&T reiterated that it is on target to launch mobile 5G in 12 markets this year with 19 more to follow in early 2019.
