Telefonica in Spain conducted a pilot test of ultra-fast 5G mmWave technology, achieving upload speeds exceeding 1.8 Gbps. The test was done in collaboration with Sony, which used the setup to operate a 5G audiovisual broadcasting system.
The immediate signal is that 5G mmWave can deliver upload capacity above 1.8 Gbps in a live broadcasting test, which matters for production workflows that depend on high-speed upstream video contribution. The ecosystem angle is the Sony collaboration: this was not just a network demo, but a 5G audiovisual broadcasting system trial tied to live production hardware use cases. For StreamingMeme readers, the key watch item is whether Telefonica or Sony publishes more detail on the broadcast system components and whether similar field tests move beyond pilot status.
