Samsung has successfully tested a wireless connection at a speed of 1 GB / s

On Monday, Samsung Electronics announced the successful testing of a new ultra-fast wireless data transfer technology, in comparison with which the current LTE looks like a turtle from the Bronze Age. The new technology, which can get the fifth generation label (5G), will allow downloading a whole movie in one second. The South Korean giant reported that in the test tests the speed was exceeded 1 gigabyte per second at a distance of more than two kilometers.

This is “several hundred times faster than existing 4G networks,” the statement said. It also adds that it will allow “to transfer huge data files, including high-quality digital movies, with almost no restrictions ... Subscribers will be able to use a wide range of services, such as three-dimensional movies and games, streaming real-time streaming of content in Ultra HD format, remote medical services ".

Samsung said that they were able to use the waves in the millimeter range, which in the mobile industry was always considered difficult to implement. In this case, 64 antennas were used, which made it possible to overcome the problem of “adverse propagation characteristics”, which prevented the transmission of data over long distances.

Alas, it’s too early to get rid of 4G phones and modems. For commercial implementation, the new technology will be ready no earlier than 2020, reports Business Insider with reference to France Presse.
