Siklu plans to accelerate the introduction of its Terragraph products, announced at Facebook’s TIP Summit ‘19 in Amsterdam. Siklu expects initial field trials during the first quarter of 2020, with commercial deployments by mid-year.

ZTE Corp., in partnership with China Telecom and China Unicom, has completed the network verification based on the co-build co-share mode in the commercial 5G environment, launching the world's first NSA co-build co-share sites of 1.8 G/2.1 G/3.5 G in Hangzhou, China.

While the new 5G technology is at the first stages of rollout, Rohde & Schwarz, the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF) are taking a step further with demonstrations in the THz frequency band, related to 6G.

As 5G hits the first year of deployment from the first time initial commercial trials were started in the US by Verizon and AT&T, GSA is reporting that 50 commercial 5G networks have been deployed as China’s big three all activated 5G networks on Nov 1. Since most of the 3GPP 5G are in-process at this point so somewhat determined, several research activities have been announced for 6G.
