According to Viavi Solutions 25 operators have announced "5G" lab tests, and 12 report field testing. Five have demonstrated data rates of 35 Gbps or more in the lab, with the UAE's Etisalat claiming the highest speed of 36 Gbps. 28 GHz is the most widely used spectrum for the tests, based on eight operators that have disclosed operating at this frequency. Seven operators are using 15 GHz.
MaxLinear Inc. announced the MxL1105, a broadband microwave transceiver that supports all licensed and unlicensed bands from 5 to 44 GHz, including all ETSI-defined channel spacing options from 5 to 224 MHz. It handles all QAM modulation code rates up to 4096 QAM.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced the availability of its 45nm RF SOI (45RFSOI) technology offering, making GF the first foundry to announce an advanced, 300 mm RF silicon solution to support next generation millimeter-wave (mmWave) beam forming applications in future 5G base stations and smartphones.
NI announced the availability of the USRP-2945 quad receiver software defined radio (SDR) and the USRP-2944 high performance 2x2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) SDR. Both models deliver a new level of performance and capability to the USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) family.
Keysight Technologies Inc. announced that it is collaborating with ZTE to assist them in the test and measurement of critical 5G key technologies, including mmW communications, new PHY, massive MIMO and BTS beamforming prototypes. Keysight will help ZTE accelerate 5G product time to market by providing industry-leading products and solutions, for example, UXA mmW signal analyzes, AXIe modular ultra-broad bandwidth signal generation and analysis systems, and system level prototype solutions.
Strategy Analytics has released an updated analysis of the growth in cellular IoT devices, forecasting total shipments exceeding 190 million units in 2025.
Lime Microsystems and Canonical have announced the upcoming launch of the second round of crowdfunding for LimeSDR the flexible, next-generation, open source Software Defined Radio.
Nokia will introduce its 4.9G technologies by the end of 2017, allowing operators to dramatically enhance their network performance and manage the significantly higher infrastructure demands on the path to 5G. A 4.9G massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna will also increase cell capacity by up to five times, while a new 4.5G Pro AirScale Micro Remote Radio Head (RRH) will allow operators to take advantage of unlicensed spectrum to enable Gigabit speeds.
