South Korea’s LG U+ and Huawei have completed a trial involving ultra-high definition IPTV streaming over 5G fixed wireless access with chipset based 5G millimeter wave customer premise equipment.
The world-first trial demonstrated UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution IPTV over 5G, achieving up to a 2Gbps capacity over an end-to-end 5G network operating in the 28-GHz band.
It used Huawei’s end-to-end 5G portfolio including 5G gNodeB, NG Core and 5G CPE offerings. Huawei said its new 5G CPE is the world’s first chipset based CPE ready for commercial engineering, including both outdoor and indoor equipment
“This world’s first end-to-end FWA test shows that, following LG U+ and Huawei’s successful cooperation in the LTE era, the investment of the two sides in 5G research has had breakthrough results,” LG U+ 5G network strategy VP Kim Dae Hee said.
“We will work with Huawei to maintain in-depth cooperation, and prepare for the coming 5G commercial launch.”
