Ringing in the new era of 5G to Sri Lanka, HUTCH recently demonstrated the fastest 5G speed ever achieved by a Sri Lankan telecom operator in its inaugural 5G trial event at HUTCH One Galle Face Premier Experience Center.
HUTCH teamed up with ZTE for the 5G trial which included several demonstrations and use cases of 5G.
The 5G trial consisted of several demonstrations, among which scoring 5G speed of 1.8Gbps and achieving an extremely low latency. HUTCH demonstrated a cross section of 5G use cases including gaming, remote meeting, and high definition video playback using 5G and compared the difference in experience with 4G and 3G for the participants to better appreciate the efficiency of 5G and what it has in store for the future.
HUTCH geared up for the 5G trial in a backdrop of having completed the Etisalat merger last year.
