Ericsson, MediaTek eye 5G FWA market with new upload speed record

Fixed-wireless access (FWA) is already the darling of the consumer 5G crowd, and a new speed milestone could make it even more compelling.
Swedish kit maker Ericsson and chip maker MediaTek this week laid claim to a record upload speed of 565 Mbps. It was achieved by combining two Ericsson software features – uplink single user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) and uplink carrier aggregation – with MediaTek’s T830 chipset for 5G FWA routers, and three transmit antennas.
