Intel, DT and Huawei Complete 5G Testing

January 26, 2018


By Mandi Nowitz - Web Editor

The first successful over-the-air test demonstrating 5G interoperability and development testing (IODT) has been conducted. Intel (News - Alert), Deutsche Telecom (DT) and Huawei were participants in the trial based on the Release 15 NSA 5G NR specifications.

A 3GPP initiative establishes the trial standards with the test based on Huawei’s (News - Alert) 5G commercial base station and Intel’s third-generation 5G NR Mobile Trial Platform. The hope is that, via the testing, by 2019, a complete launch of Intel-based 5G solutions will be able to handle billions of connected devices.

The Intel 5G NR Mobile Trial Platform is assisting developers in accelerating the process of bringing devices to fruition. Devices must meet the specifics of the NSA NR standards more efficiently; this encompasses spectrum, band, capacity, and handover solutions, all completely compliant with the new radio (NR) standards.

Arash Ashouriha, Senior Vice President Technology Innovation of Deutsche Telekom (News - Alert) said:”After delivering leading contributions to the 3GPP’s work on 5G standards, Deutsche Telekom, Huawei and Intel moved swiftly to jointly verify implementation progress through standards-based interoperability testing. The success of our test is a significant step on the path to 5G ecosystem maturity and early 5G commercialization.”

Configurations for these recent tests were based upon the biggest C-band cell bandwidth, encompassing Massive MIMO multi-antenna and beamforming technology. With Mass MIMO, multiple antennas offer accurate beam control for network coverage improvements and interferences.

5G network research started between DT and Huawei two years ago, being dedicated to speeding up the already speedy 5G network of the future. Combining Intel’s 5G NR platform, success in the IODT tests were able to be completely achieved.

5G is becoming a reality. Are you ready?
