In February 2013, the European Union announced that it would allocate 50 million euros. Accelerate the development of 5G mobile technology and plan to launch mature standards by 2020.
On May 13, 2013, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that it has successfully developed the core technology of 5th generation mobile communications (5G). The technology can transmit data at a speed of more than 1Gbps per second in the 28GHz ultra-high frequency band, and the longest transmission distance can reach 2 kilometers. In comparison, the current 4G Long Term Evolution (4GLTE) service has a transmission rate of only 75Mbps. Previously, this transmission bottleneck was generally considered to be a technical problem in the industry, and Samsung Electronics used the adaptive array transmission technology of 64 antenna units to solve this problem. Compared with the transmission speed of 4G technology in South Korea, 5G technology is expected to provide 100 times faster than 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE). With this technology, downloading a high-definition (HD) movie takes only ten seconds.
