LG U+ completes 5G urban field test with Huawei
South Korean operator LG U+ and Huawei have completed the first phase of their 5G intensive urban field test. This 5G field test was designed as commercial-oriented and realized by a 5G network with 5G gNodeB, Ng Core and a 5G mobile bearer network. The test content covered coverage and capacity tests under the 5G target frequency band millimeter wave 28GHz. 

Based on this phase of the test, LG U+ plans to cooperate with Huawei, to continue to perform high and low frequency joint network tests, and provide continuous coverage networking and mobility tests, to prepare for the 5G commercial launch. 

Based on Huawei's research results under the latest 3GPP 5G NR protocol frame, this field test validated the urban coverage and capacity of the 5G target spectrums. LG U+ said. Millimeter wave, as the hotspot coverage layer of a 5G network, will be deployed to upgrade customer peak rate experience.

In the test under Millimeter wave cell, the downlink rate reached 2.5Gbps at a distance of 1 km, far higher than the 1Gbps peak rate defined by ITU, to help to meet the requirements of hotspot coverage and fixed wireless access services. At the same time, this test also verified the large capacity of 5G. In addition, the peak rate of single user under millimeter wave 28GHz reached 18.5 Gbps.
