The first 5G data video call over 600 MHz included successful uplink and downlink communication and was carried out on a live commercial network.
During the tests, Ericsson, Intel and T-Mobile generated a 5G signal capable of covering more than a thousand square miles from a single tower. The tests also included a successful tri-band 5G video call with three users on different spectrum bands - 600 MHz, 28 GHz and 39 GHz.
Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President and Head of Business Area Networks, Ericsson, says: “We share the vision of T-Mobile to make 5G services available to everyone across the United States. “We will continue to work closely together as 5G partners, testing possibilities and reaching new milestones.“
