TIM and Ericsson beat European 5G speed record

- By Nuadox Crew -

TIM (also operating under the name “Telecom Italia”), Ericsson and Qualcomm, have successfully completed Europe’s first connection surpassing the 2 Gbps speed barrier on a 5G live commercial network.

The connection was completed on a 26 Gigahertz (GHz) millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency which was acquired by TIM as part of the Italian government’s 5G bid.

The achievement represents yet another milestone in mmWave, following the first 5G connection in Italy and the first 5G videocall in Europe. The performance will improve significantly throughout 2020 as the network will be able to use up to 800 MHz and afterwards up to 1000 MHz, moving the world closer to new Industry 4.0 scenarios with exceptionally fast services, extremely low latency and high levels of security and reliability.
