3.4 - 3.8 GHz

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. 

TIM, in partnership with Fastweb and Huawei, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the city councils of Bari and Matera as part of 5G trials to be conducted over the next 4 years. Tests are about to be carried out using frequencies in the 3.7-3.8 GHz band made available by the country’s Ministry of […]

Using the spectrum band 3.5GHz, Cosmote will gradually implement 5G starting from urban areas before the expansion throughout the country by 2020. The 3.5 GHz was awarded for Q3 2019, and further test permits are awaited in 2018-2019.  

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.

Telefónica presented  in Talavera de la Reina the first 5G use case with an EZ10 autonomous driving electric minibus. The demonstration used the 3.5 GHz band in mobility via an autonomous electric vehicle from the EasyMile company, in which an Ericsson 5G terminal and the CarMedia Solutions platform have been installed, in order to enjoy […]

Arcep has issued a temporary licence (Decision No. 2018-178) to Bouygues Telecom, for 5G pilots in the cities of Bordeaux, Lyon and Villeurbanne.

They […]

TDC, in partnership with Huawei,  tested 5G technology using 100MHz in the 3.5GHz band awarded by the Danish Energy Agency (or Energistyrelsen). The operator achieved transmission speeds of 1.9Gbps in the trial. TDC now aims to deploy its first 5G antennas during 2019.

T-Mobile Austria has installed two tower sites in Innsbruck for a live trial of a pre-version of the final 5G standard. The operator achieved transmission rates of 2Gbps and a latency of 3 ms using frequencies in the 3.7GHz band. Huawei provided the 5G end-to-end network system and the 640km of fibre-optic infrastructure was operated […]
