Optus and Huawei nudge 35Gbps in 5G trial
Australia's second-largest telco, Optus, and Chinese technology company, Huawei, have taken a step forward in their 5G partnership, conducting a local Australian trial that clocked up single user transmission speeds of 35 Gbps.The trial, conducted in Sydney, was a local initiative undertaken as part of a 5G collaboration agreement between Optus' parent company, Singtel, and Huawei, aimed at utilising technologies such as millimetre wave and Polar code.The companies claim the trial demonstrated the fastest speeds of a single user transmission over 5G in Australia to date.
Optus and Huawei clock 35Gbps speeds in 5G trial
Optus has announced attaining speeds of 35Gbps during a 5G trial with Chinese networking giant Huawei, which they said is the fastest single user transmission rate using 5G so far in Australia.The trial was conducted over the 73GHz millimetre wave spectrum band, using the Polar Code coding mechanism, and was part of Optus' parent company Singtel's memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Huawei.Optus added that it will next year trial Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and deploy Coordinated Heterogeneous Network, both of which are precursors for 5G commercial networks.

Telco uses spectrum in 73GHz band for Sydney testOptus and Huawei achieved a single-user transmission speed of 35 gigabits per second during a 5G trial using spectrum in the 73GHz band.The Sydney trial was aimed at exploring spectrum efficiency at frequencies above 30GHz, Optus said."Australia is well positioned to take a pioneering role in the development of 5G technologies globally," Optus Networks acting managing director Dennis Wong said in a statement.
