KDDI and Samsung Electronics announced they have completed a set of 5G tests which demonstrate the viability and performance of 5G millimeter wave mobility services at speeds over 190km per hour. The demo took place at ‘Everland SpeedWay’ in Korea, and involved a battery of individual tests to examine the performance of Samsung’s 5G mmWave technology.
Specifically, as a vehicle accelerated from 0 to 205km per hour on the race track between multiple 5G base stations, the test measured and evaluated a variety of metrics, including handover interruption time, uplink and downlink throughput stability, and latency stability (jitter).
In addition, KDDI and Samsung also demonstrated a successful handover scenario, with Samsung’s 5G device attaching to the 5G base station as it approached the service area, and successfully being handed over to the target cell at a speed of 192km per hour (GPS speed).
