What is 5G, through while no one can say. However, as soon as the situation should change.Non-profit organization NGMN not only prepares standards for next-generation network communication, but also actively developing its test versions. Joined the list of participants and the company Apple.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Ziggo, Apple and Peking University as alliance partners NGMN, - said the head of a nonprofit organization, Peter Meissner. - They will play a leading role in the issue of harmonization and standardization 5G".
Organization Next Generation Mobile Networks was founded in 2006, and during that time it was joined by more than 20 companies from around the world. Among alliance members can distinguish AT & T, Vodafone, LG, DoCoMo and others.
Representatives of the group said that in the preparation of recommendations, they are guided by an optimized architecture of circuit-switched networks (PSN). This will subsequently undertake an easy migration from 3G and 4G networks to 5G-networks, "providing greater opportunities of competition and increased data rate".
Note that in July this year, Ericsson announced the successful conclusion of testing technology prototype fifth-generation networks. The Swedish company has achieved a data transfer rate of 5 Gb / s in the frequency range of 15 GHz. Fifth-generation network Ericsson was 250 times faster than LTE. At a rate of 5 Gb / s downloading movie volume of 50 GB will take about 80 seconds, which is impossible, even with common wired interfaces.
In the commercial network mode 5G earn no earlier than 2020.
