A year after the introduction of 4G in Portugal, Samsung has already started testing in their laboratories 5G in Seoul. The manufacturer has achieved the speed of a gig per second, one unprecedented milestone in mobile Internet. So far, the maximum speeds achieved by commercial 4G handsets are six times lower (150 megs / second broadband boards), and Optimus, TMN and Vodafone managed 300 megs in the laboratory.

test scores, advanced by the company itself, coming at a time when the European Commission is investing heavily in research dedicated to 5G. In February, the Commission announced an injection of 50 million euros in the project 5G, aiming to market in 2020. Within this budget, 16 million will be delivered to the program METIS, alliance led by the Swedish Ericsson mobile technology that aims to develop 10 to 100 times faster than today. Unlike what happened with the 3G, Europe lagged behind in the development and popularization of 4G, overtaken by the USA and Asia. This early investment Commission intends to regain the leadership position it had in previous decades.

However, Sam-sung, led by Kwon Oh Hyun also want to be at the forefront. As you did with the 4G – which began testing in 2005 – the manufacturer of the Galaxy S is investing in ultrafast evolution of LTE. Samsung announces that it plans to market the first devices in 2020, the same timeline announced by the European Commission. However, even in 2013, the company will launch in South Korea the first LTE Advanced services (the same as mobile operators have tested with Huawei in Portugal).

“Once commercialized, the 5G will remove the obstacles that prevent the transmission of large volumes of data to smart appliances, opening the possibility of distributing video in ultra high definition 3D holographic video” Samsung said in a statement. 5G operation involves the use of much higher frequencies than the 4G in the range 28 GHz (4G typically operates in the 2 GHz bands). For this it is necessary that the devices have 64 antenna elements, instead of one or two devices that require 4G.

“5G technology will overcome the satisfaction of consumer demand for ultra-fast data transmission, opening up new potential for hardware and services, such as ultra high definition cameras with Internet access, ubiquitous access to services in the cloud and devices usable in the body, “adds Samsung.
