Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Bharti Airtel (Airtel), one of India's leading telecommunications service providers have successfully demonstrated mm Wave 5G functionality on Airtel network. Peak speeds of 4.7Gbps were achieved during the testing, demonstrating the applicability of mmWave for high network capacity requirements.
