AT&T has launched a second trial, with Ericsson and Intel, of using millimetre wave technology to deliver 5G performance in Austin Texas. The second trial reaches speeds up to 1 gigabit/sec and is intended to deliver an ultra-fast internet connection to residential, small business and enterprise locations using Ericsson’s 5G RAN and the Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform. The trial participants can stream premium live TV via DirectTV Now and experience faster broadband services using a fixed wireless 5G signal.
5G standards remain under development.
