EE and Huawei show off 5G network architecture with all the bells and whistles

A UK lab showcase by EE using Huawei kit is laying claim to a breakthrough in end-to-end 5G network architecture testing.
The demo featured a host of 5G buzzword name-dropping. It’s being positioned as a major step forward for NFV as the core network is fully virtualized on commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. EE claims to have managed consistent download speeds of 2.8 Gbps with the help of a 5G NR 64×64 Massive MIMO active antenna using the 3.5 GHz test spectrum band.
