Samsung claims “5G” first
support ”5G” mobile networks which it said can deliver
speeds “up to several hundred times faster than even 4G
LTE-Advanced technology”. Mobileworldlive.com reports that Samsung plans to
commercialise the 5G technology by 2020. The company claims to have built the world’s first
adaptive array transceiver for the millimetre-wave Ka
band, which could eventually become central to 5G.
However, no official standard has yet been set to define
exactly what makes up 5G technology and clarification is
unlikely to arrive before the next World Radiocommunication Conference in 2015. Until then, talk
of ’5G’ technology progress is arguably being driven
more by marketing desire than R&D. Samsung says its adaptive array transceiver technology
uses 64 antenna elements, making it a viable solution for
the radio propagation loss in millimetre-wave bands. The
technology can transmit data at a frequency of 28GHz at
up to 1.056Gb/s over a distance of 2km. Chang Yeong Kim said the development of the
transceiver has brought Samsung “one step closer to the
commercialisation of 5G mobile communications”. The
company hopes it will lead to international alliances and
commercialisation of related mobile broadband services. The industry has already begun jumping on the 5G
bandwagon; last October Huawei and Samsung were
amongst companies that gave their backing to
development of a 5G R&D centre in the U
