Huawei and Sunrise have jointly showcased the large scope of 5G use cases on a 5G E2E Network.
Using cloud-based end-to-end applications, 5G performance capability was demonstrated with virtual reality, 360-degree panoramic live video, and twelve parallel 4K video streams on 65-inch UHD TVs. The download data throughput was 3.28Gbit/s, the highest ever measured for a mobile Internet link with 3.5GHz.
The fifth generation of mobile network technology facilitates many new key functions. As shown by the 5G demo staged by Sunrise and Huawei, one 5G mobile wireless connection could easily replace the wired Internet access in a multi-unit dwelling with twelve households.
Even with twelve parallel data-intensive 4K TV streams, which consume about 750Mbit/s, there is still a lot of spare capacity in this early 5G phase. This would allow each household to use a number of additional Internet connections at the same time.
Olaf Swantee, CEO, Sunrise
5G will be a game changer, and, to me, it is another important step up. Being the leading wireless provider, we naturally have set high goals for the fifth generation of mobile network technology.
Xiao Haijun, CEO, Huawei Switzerland
We have already demonstrated 5G at various global events, but what we managed to show here with Sunrise is unprecedented and impressively demonstrates the performance capability of 5G.
