Vivo shows off 5G mmWave technology at MWC Shanghai, capable of streaming 8K UHD video to smartphones

Report from Tribunnews.com Journalists, Hari Darmawan

TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTATechnology company Vivo brings back the latest innovation, 5G mmWave transmitter technology to stream 8K Ultra High Definition resolution video from servers to smartphones and to televisions.

This technology is on display Vivo at the Shanghai Mobile World Congress (MWC) event held in February 2021.

In this technology demonstration, Vivo conducted trials on smartphones that have supported several 5G Sub-6 Ghz and mmWave n257, n258, n269 and n261 frequency bands and have supported dual NSA (EN-DC) connectivity.

This demonstration conducted by Vivo in the development of 5G is to demonstrate the capabilities of the research and development division of Vivo on the 5G mmWave technology.

Senior Brand Director Vivo Indonesia Edy Kusuma said research and development of 5G network technology is a long-term investment for Vivo.

“This development can certainly provide a more optimal mobile network experience for end users,” said Edy to Tribunnews, Monday (8/3/2021).

5G technology network on display Vivo on the title MWC Shanghai 2021 is to test the scenario of implementing high-tech mmWave at the Winter Olympics.

Currently, global 5G network technology services are already using sub-6GHz and mmWave frequencies. MmWave or millimeter waves are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 1 mm to 10 mm and a frequency range of 30 GHz to 300 GHz.

When compared with sub 6Ghz, mmWave frequency has many advantages, such as larger bandwidth, more flexible air interface and lower air interface delay.

Using mmWave for 5G networks can also effectively meet the needs of wireless communication system capacity and transmission speed.

“This series of technologies developed by Vivo has a very strategic potential when the implementation of the 5G network is realized for consumers,” said Edy.

In recent years Vivo continues to develop 5G mmWave technology. In 2016, Vivo 5G begins preliminary research on 5G mmWave and actively participates in the 3GPP R15 / R16 mmWave standard which makes an important contribution to the 5G mmWave standard.

At last year’s 2020 World 5G Convention, Vivo showcased the connected 5G mmWave smartphone with a wireless network emulator and sparked the interest of many industry insiders.

Meanwhile, at the World 5G Convention 2020, Vivo It has also showcased a 5G mmWave smartphone connected to a wireless network emulator and is in demand by industry players.
