Qualcomm unveils 5G sub-6 GHz prototype platform

Mobile chip giant Qualcomm has unveiled what is calls a ‘5G New Radio (NR) prototype system and trial platform,’ which is positioned as a test-bed for driving the 3GPP 5G air interface standard.
The 5G NR platform is focused on frequencies below 6 GHz, which would incorporate the current licensed bands. 5G is also expected to make extensive use of bands above 6 GHz to accommodate the significantly higher bandwidth that will be required to support speeds expected to be in excess of 1
