Qualcomm Mobile, Qualcomm Technologies and ZTE have tested the world's first end-to-end 5G NR interoperable data connection, based on the 3GPP R15 standard. The test came ahead of next year's standard compliant trials and predicted commercial network launches in 2019. The 5G system aims to offer multi-gigabit-per-second peak data rates with much lower latency than 4G, enabling the streaming of high-definition video and virtual and augmented reality experiences. In addition, a 5G network would also provide a more efficient service for autonomous cars and drones.
