At what scale (number of users / latency / download size etc.) was the record 5G network speed achieved?

    Hi Sachin;
    This is complex question because we have different scores depends on the conditions. I can give you at least 10 different values of downlink speed depends if specific feature is on or off, or if there is mimo/massive mimo in use, or if it is TCP or UDP, or there is one user or more.....
    Couple of years ago we exceeded promised 10 GB/s. Now we work to keep it stable with specific configurations and in real environment - for example, when 500 people go by train through crowded city, this is a challenge ;)

    About latency:
    - in D2D (device to device) communication there is less then 1ms of latency. 5G frame structure allows to reach this value
    - in "usual" communication, main restriction is the speed of the light and latencies are in range of 1 - 100ms, depends on the distance between callers.
    About capacity - number of users. I know that 5G will let connect up to million devices per square km. But I have no real data – sorry - it is not my area.

    Ok. I remembered the target of 10 GB /s for 5G, so was wondering how far are connectivity providers to reach that bench mark and if its going to be attainable at all. It is really possible.
