Verizon, Nokia complete outdoor testing of 5G tech

Verizon Communications Inc. and Nokia Corp. completed a series of data sessions over the 3GPP New Radio 5G standard outdoors rather than in a lab.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project brings together various telecommunications standard development organizations and provides their members with a stable environment to produce the reports and specifications that define 3GPP technologies. The project covers cellular telecommunications network technologies, including radio access, the core transport network and service capabilities.

Verizon and Nokia also completed multicarrier aggregation to boost those signals into Gbps range, according to a June 12 news release.

The companies worked to transmit multiple live interactive virtual reality sessions and simultaneous 4K streaming video on Verizon's 28 GHz millimeter wave spectrum with latencies of 1.5 milliseconds.

Verizon plans to launch 5G residential broadband service in four markets in the U.S. in the second half of 2018, followed by a mobile 5G service.
