From the press release:

“TeliaSonera-owned NetCom is the first operator in the world to LTE Advanced Pro technology out of the test laboratory and build a pilot outdoors under real use conditions.

In order to achieve the high speed flowed company data over four frequency bands simultaneously, and there are special with the current test is that the company only used frequency resources that are already available for mobile today: 800MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. “

Are already well on your way
In place were company CEOs and samferderdselsminister Ketil Solvik-Olsen. NetCom is namely already started to develop 4.5g technology that builds on the current 4G standard.

The thing with 4.5 is that telecom companies can run multiple frequencies simultaneously, which enables speeds around 1Gbps – technology called “carrier aggregation” and makes it possible to drive five frequencies cooperate.

Impressive numbers
NetCom ran a real-time measurement with the press present, but stopped at 961Mbps due aktivetet online – that’s exactly what’s the deal:

this network is already running on the network that is used by most people, it’s just that it requires new hardware (only Samsung Galaxy Edge Plus and Huawei Ascend Mate 8 are supporting provisional – otherwise it was a desktop with fiber link that performed the test), and upcoming subscription that provides support for the new speeds.

Therefore, NetCom had beforehand been running a test in the night, which gave a very good result, and actually above target at 1000Mbps: they managed 1204Mbps. This gave world record of such a network.

Will demonstrate that they invest in Norg

– There may be an equally good perspective to think 5G forward instead of fiber that must be buried, as we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, explained he press that was stuffed into a smørebu turned into a makeshift test-lab to test the super fast wireless broadband technology.
