Qualcomm teamed up with ZTE communication to complete smartphone 5G millimeter wave interoperability testing

- Test Based on 26GHz millimeter wave band, the foundation of China's millimeter wave deployment strategy is to laid the foundation - QUALCOMM INCORPORATED subsidiary QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and ZTE announced that under the organization of IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group, the two sides have successfully achieved China's first smartphone-based 5G millimeter wave interoperability on October 19th. Test (IODT). The test is based on the global 3GPP 5G new vacation Release 15 specification, on the 26GHz millimeter wave band, using ZTE's 5G new empty port base station and a smartphone test terminal equipped with QUALCOMM® Snapdragon TM5G modem and RF system. According to the 5G millimeter wave test plan of the IMT-2020 (5G) propulsion group, 2019 is a key technology for research and test millimeter wave, as well as the important phase of exploring millimeter wave applications and development strategies. At present, some countries have deployed a millimeter wave network, showing the advantages of this technology, and some terminal manufacturers have also launched commercial smartphones that support 5G millimeters. The QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES combined with ZTE's first smartphone-based 5G millimeter wave interoperability test, marking the important milestones in millimeter wave technology verification, and putting the road for further exploration of China's millimeter wave commercial deployment strategy. The test use of the smartphone test terminal is created based on the 5G new vacation millimeter wave solution provided by Qualcomm Technologies. Millimeter waves not only bring significant large bandwidth capacity and lower delays, but also support extremely intensive spatial multiplexing. Implementing millimeter wave mobility has been regarded by the industry as an impossible technical challenge, and QUALCOMM Technologies has successfully proved millimeters in the industry to be used in smartphones. QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES is a chip vendor that has taken the lead in launching support for 6GHz or less and millimeters, a smartphone. Sun Gang, Vice President of Product Market: "QUALCOMM Technologies started research on millimeter wave foundation from more than a decade, we are very happy to be able to complete this test with ZTE, through leading technology and products. Actively explore and accelerate millimeter wave deployment processes. We will continue to join hands with China Mobile Ecology Partners, including ZTE, promote millimeter wave technology maturation and industry evolution, bring a new 5G millimeter wave experience for consumers. " President of ZTE and General Manager of TDD & 5G Products said: "In the 5G technical verification and product development process, ZTE has always maintained a leading position. The breakthrough test completed with Qualcomm Technologies cooperation is the long-term The continuation of friendly and cooperative relations, while highlighting ZTE's staged results in promoting 5G millimeters, which laid an important foundation for China's 5G deployment.
