Deutsche Telekom has demonstrated a mobile connection operating at 12 Gbps over 100m, made possible by the additional use of the frequency spectrum at 6 gigahertz (6 GHz).
For the test, Telekom equipped a rooftop location in the town of Alzey in Rheinhessen with a 6 GHz antenna. In addition, an antenna was mounted that is already used today for the 5G mobile communications standard and transmits via the 3.6 GHz frequency band. During the measurements at a distance of around 100 metres, around 12 Gbps were measured with slight fluctuations.
