Demonstration

Vodafone with Huawei have installed 5G network nodes at La Nave in Madrid. The deployment supported demonstrations related to the potential impact of 5G. The network is on the 3.7 GHz band, enabling download speeds of up to 2.2 Gbps.

The Nokia and France Télévisions demonstrated the ability of 5G to offer a speed equivalent to fiber, enabling the future broadcast of 8K content on any compatible device, including televisions.

Vodafone demonstrated a holographic call using 5G. The demonstrated speed of 5G would enable other applications such as remote robotic surgery and 4K gaming on the move.

Proximus successfully tested 5G technology with the provider Huawei. During the tests, speeds of up to 70 Gbps were reached over millimetre wave at 73GHz.

5G technology was presented  by Cosmote in a live demonstration along with Nokia, achieving speeds of up to 4.5Gbps. At the InfoCom World conference, visitors had the opportunity to watch 360° video streaming through a Virtual Reality headset. Both players used the 3.5GHz range during the demonstration.

Engineering firm ASTI and 5G innovation lab 5TONIC are testing 5G applicability in ASTI Mobile Robotics’ AGVs (automated guided vehicles).

Telefonica and Huawei jointly demonstrated the industry’s first VR service using 5G end-to-end (E2E) network slicing technology underpinned by Telefonica’s UNICA program.

Fastweb in cooperation with Ericsson and the City of Rome started a 5G trial, demonstrated by switching on the first 5G experimental antenna on 22 February 2018. The agreed use case that are being developed concern public transport, public safety and tourism (VR in archeogical sites and museums). For the trial Fastweb is using 42MHz […]

Vodafone conducted a live demonstration of pre-standard 5G technology in Ireland. At the Douglas Hyde Gallery at Trinity College, Vodafone Ireland and Ericsson achieved 15 Gbps with a latency of less than 5 ms in the demonstration using the operator’s 3.6GHz spectrum acquired last year. 

In May 2018, TIM demonstrated 5G technology in the 26GHz band and confirmed the contract with Nokia for a 5G network rollout in the 3.5GHz and 26GHz bands.
