In what they characterize as a successful test, Samsung, Qualcomm Technologies and Verizon said they have achieved a mobile 5G speed of 1.7 Gbps using a 400 MHz swath of millimeter wave spectrum in the 28 GHz band. The companies used 5G New Radio (5G NR) compliant equipment and Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which takes advantage of 5G and LTE technology. The demonstration used Samsung commercial 5G NR and 4G LTE equipment to deliver data over Verizon spectrum to a Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem and antenna modules with integrated RF transceiver, RF front end and antenna elements.
