Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), TM and ZTE Corporation (ZTE) recently announced that they have formed a strategic alliance to unveil the world’s fastest 5G live trial which will deliver remarkable speeds up to 28Gbps. Considering that current 5G in Malaysia is anywhere from 300Mbps to 1.5Gbps, we can’t think of any use case for 28Gbps 5G.
The alliance will utilize TM's current network infrastructure and ZTE’s mmWave active antenna unit to deliver Malaysia's first standalone 5G core. According to them it will also “enhance rapid Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) connections to deliver high-quality services, video streaming, lag-free online gaming, and immersive virtual and augmented reality applications”. No Malaysia release dates on when we might see 28Gbps 5G for normal Malaysians though.
What do you think? Do we need 28Gbps 5G? We thought 1.5Gbps would already be enough to do the really important stuff like remote surgery, IoT and self-driving vehicles, but we suppose it's a good thing to aim higher. If we could get 28Gbps without having to pay for boosters that would be fine too. Share your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com
