This breakthrough in 5G data speeds was achieved using something called E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) technology. EN-DC technology enables mobile operators to boost 5G speeds and coverage by leveraging a 4G network.
“Through this demonstration, Samsung is proud to achieve another breakthrough record in 5G data speeds, now spotlighting the power of using a dual 4G and 5G approach, delivered directly to a single user,” said Ji-Yun Seol, Vice President, and Head of Air Technology Group, Networks Business at Samsung. “This reinforces our commitment to delivering the best possible 5G solutions to our customers and our ongoing support to help mobile operators accelerate the benefits of 5G services to their users.”
Samsung achieves 5.23Gbps single device 5G data speeds
Recently, the South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics announced the breakthrough in 5G data speeds using E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) technology. This technology enables mobile operators to boost 5G speeds and coverage by leveraging a 4G network.
In a demonstration carried out in Samsung’s lab in Korea, the company successfully combined 40MHz of 4G frequency and 800MHz of 5G frequency in mmWave, achieving 5.23Gbps in data speeds to a single device.
During this demonstration, Samsung used its commercial end-to-end solutions including, the Samsung Galaxy S20+ smartphone, 4G radios, 5G radios (Compact Macro), and 4G/5G common Core.
Samsung’s new 5G technology breaks speed records
Samsung has announced that it has broken previous 5G speed records with its new technology. The company achieved a record download speed of 5.23Gbps on a single device using the E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) technology. The demonstration was carried out in its lab in Samsung Digital City in Suwon, South Korea.
The EN-DC technology leverages 4G networks to boost 5G speeds. During its demonstration, Samsung Networks used a combination of 800MHz of mmWave 5G frequency and 40MHz of 4G frequency. The company also used commercially available devices, including the Galaxy S20+, 4G and 5G radios, and a 4G/5G common core. Using both 4G and 5G networks at the same time helps carriers in improving coverage, efficiency, reliability, and speed. At 5.23Gbps, a device can download a Full HD movie (4GB file size) in just 6 seconds.
