Nivi Thadasina, senior director, LTE & CDMA Engineering, Wireless Network Systems, for Samsung Networks, discusses a first-of-its-kind trial with Verizon of 5G using millimeter waves at the carrier’s Basking Ridge, N.J., facility. The trials used spectrum in the 28 GHz band to deliver fixed and mobile wireless indoors, outdoors and in varying line-of-sight conditions. Multi-Gigabit speeds, as Samsung demonstrated during Mobile World Congress, can support applications like live streaming of 360-degree virtual reality video and 4K Ultra High Definition broadcast into a moving vehicle.
