On 26 June 2023, Nokia announced it had achieved sustained average downlink speeds of over 2 Gb/s using the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) spectrum and 5G fixed wireless access (FWA), over a distance of 10.86 kilometers. This milestone download speed, the fastest recorded worldwide to date, was accomplished using Nokia’s 5G extended range mm-wave solution at the OuluZone test facility in Oulu, Finland.
The test utilized Nokia’s AirScale baseband and AirScale 24-GHz (n258 band) mm-wave radio and Nokia’s FastMile 5G proof-of-concept customer premises equipment (CPE). Testing involved eight component carriers in the downlink, aggregating 800 MHz of mm-wave spectrum. This enabled a top downlink speed of 2.1 Gb/s and an uplink speed of 57.2 Mb/s.
This achievement, which builds on a previous world record announced by Nokia in 2021, demonstrates the reach and connectivity speeds that 5G mm-wave can deliver. It also lays the foundations for high-quality Internet connectivity solutions delivered via FWA to areas where wired connections are not always possible.
