Verizon, the largest telecommunications carrier in the United States, has set a new benchmark for 5G upload speeds through a successful trial with Ericsson and Qualcomm. This collaboration has resulted in achieving an impressive uplink speed of 480 Mbps in North America. By leveraging Advanced 5G technologies, including two-component carrier aggregation in TDD mode and uplink MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) within the C-band spectrum, Verizon has broken existing records for uplink speeds using sub-6 GHz spectrum.
Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology plays a crucial role in this achievement, allowing for concurrent upload and download transmissions on the same frequency by allocating time slots as needed. This dynamic allocation caters to varying network demands, enhancing performance for end users.
This milestone serves as a significant advancement in the 5G landscape, showcasing the commitment of Verizon, Ericsson, and Qualcomm Technologies to innovation. Increased upload speeds are vital for applications where speed is critical, facilitating real-time data transmission to the cloud, thus enhancing interaction capabilities. We are excited to lead the charge in helping businesses embrace the power of AI, achieving smarter automation, better efficiency, and more engaging user experiences.
Verizon anticipates attracting a wide range of businesses with its newly demonstrated 5G uplink capabilities, which can unlock numerous advantages such as enhanced AI, improved automation, and immersive user experiences.
