Telefonica hits 1.8 Gbps upload in 5G mmWave pilot
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.
Key Takeaways
- The pilot took place in Spain and used ultra-fast 5G mmWave technology.
- Telefonica reported upload speeds of over 1.8 Gbps in the test.
- Sony collaborated on the pilot and tested a 5G audiovisual broadcasting system.
- The article describes the system as being based on elements such as the 5G setup used in the trial.
Why It Matters
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.
