UK mobile and internet company EE has launched the first UK trial of 5G in Canary Wharf. The company said 5G would have to cope with huge demands, so a trial in a busy area made sense. It plans to trial 10 more 5G sites in east London Last year for consumers and business users. EE will use the 3.4 GHz spectrum, of which it bought 49 MHz in an Ofcom auction, using Huawei equipment. It has already tested 5G in laboratory conditions, reaching download speeds of 2.8 Gbps.
