Samsung and SK Telecom will demonstrate 7.55Gbps data transmission speed at the MWC 2015 next week on March 2. The transmission will use millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency bands and though mmWaves result in high propagation loss, they’ll make use of an improved antenna technology called 3D Beamforming to “compensate high propagation loss by producing a pencil beam and steering the direction of radio signals.”
Samsung and SK Telecom will also showcase Full Dimension MIMO that utilises tens to hundreds of antennas and will work closely together to develop 5G technologies for a rollout in 2020.
Samsung Electronics has built the most advanced 4G LTE telecommunications infrastructure in the world by working closely with other Korean companies. We will continue to lead the global mobile industry by focusing on the development of 5G technologies through strengthened cooperation with our partners.
