Samsung Achieves 5.23 Gbps 5G Data Speeds Using E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity

Samsung Achieves 5G Data Speeds of 5.23 Gbps

South Korean company Samsung Electronics today said that it achieved an incredible 5G speeds of 5.23 Gbps using EN-DC technology. With the help of E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) technology, telecom operators can boost 5G speeds and coverage by leveraging a 4G network. These are not the fastest speeds achieved on 5G because the record is held of 8 Gbps speed is held by Nokia and Qualcomm. However, Samsung used a different technology (EN-DC) this time around and the smartphone used for this test was Samsung Galaxy S20+. The demonstration was carried out in Samsung’s lab in South Korea.

Samsung Uses EN-DC Technology to Combine 4G and 5G Networks

Samsung said the test was completed combining 40 MHz of 4G frequency and 800 MHz of 5G frequency in mmWave, which resulted in 5.23 Gbps data speeds on a single device. Furthermore, Samsung said it used commercial end-to-end solutions comprised of devices and network products such as Samsung Galaxy S20+ smartphone, 4G radios, 5G radios (Compact Macro Link) and 4G/5G common Core (Link).

Coming to the highlight of this demonstration, Samsung used EN-DC technology that enables operators to combine 4G and 5G for maximising the benefits of both networks. This will result in enhanced speeds, coverage and reliability. The company also said it leveraged carrier aggregation (CA) to combine multiple channels of spectrum for boosting data speeds over a wireless network.

Telecom operators across the globe will make use of the 4G spectrum to enhance 5G services and Samsung believes the EN-DC technology will show the power of using a dual 4G and 5G approach.
