Qualcomm and T-Mobile along with Ericsson have successfully completed the first data call using Qualcomm’s X55 modem, the first 5G chip for phones to support all 5G networks to be launched in the US in 2019, including T-Mobile’s band 71 (600 MHz). All 5G phones currently on the market in the US use the X50 chip, […]
T-Mobile has successfully tested 5G technology on three different radio frequency bands, including 600 MHz (band 71), in a real world setting outside of a lab. The company is working toward offering 5G service nationwide in 2020. T-Mobile worked with Ericsson and Intel to complete the recent test, which involved three users participating in a video […]
T-Mobile today announced that it plans to spend $3.5 billion on networking equipment from Ericsson over the next few years. Ericsson will supply T-Mobile with its 3GPP-compliant 5G NR hardware and software for its 5G network. T-Mobile plans to use various spectrum bands for 5G, all of which can be covered by Ericsson’s equipment. In addition to […]
AT&T hasannounced an expansion of its 5G trials with its first business customer. Intel has agreed to test AT&T’s mmWave technology at its own Austin-based offices. AT&T and its technology partner, Ericsson, claim to have reached peak download speeds of 14 Gbps with 4K HD video and real-time camera feeds. This field trial will put business-class […]
T-Mobile and Ericsson claim lab tests demonstrate the power of forthcoming 5G technology. The two firms pushed data speeds to 12 Gbps over a wireless connection, with latency as low as 2 milliseconds, in the 28 GHz band. The companies also conducted a voice call between 4G and 5G networks, and say 8×8 MIMO can transmit […]
T-Mobile will commence trials of 5G technologies with partners Nokia and Ericsson during the second half of the year, says Nokia. The companies plan to use the 28GHz band for testing, which is one of the bands proposed for 5G usage. Their goal is to “support massive bandwidth capacity and virtual zero latency.” The tests […]
Volvo owners may soon be able to open and start their car with a smartphone. The carmaker is testing an application that relies on proximity sensors similar to today’s key fobs. When the car senses the phone is near, it will unlock the doors and allow the engine to start. Volvo will test the digital […]
Apple and Ericsson have signed a patent-licensing agreement and put an end to on-going patent litigation between the two. Ericsson said the deal is broad and covers 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE technologies. Royalty payment rates were the heart of the matter. The agreement “means we can continue to work with Apple in areas such […]
After being the first wireless carrier in the U.S. to widely deploy 4G LTE technology, Verizon is striving to be the first to launch a 5G network as well. The 5G technology is expected to arrive after 2020, but Verizon will begin trials as early as next year with some of its hardware and networking […]
Ericsson today stepped up its legal action against Apple with new lawsuits filed in the U.K., the Netherlands, and Germany. Ericsson asserts Apple is using its wireless technology patents without the proper licenses. Apple used to have licenses for the patents, but the licenses expired and the two companies have been unable to come to […]
