In 4G technology, the equivalent of a small cell, known as a macrocell, was larger and required more power. Error rates 5G’s adaptive Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), a schematic used to send data from WiFi devices, is an improvement upon the MCS used in 4G and 3G networks, making...
5G home broadband could provide you with download speeds well over 200Mbps, all without the need for a landline or an engineer visit to get you setup.
Internet speed is measured in bits (Mbps or Gbps), while data and storage are measured in bytes (MB or GB). Read on to learn how to boost internet speeds and maximize data usage.
Gigabit internet delivers download speeds of around 1Gbps, the equivalent of 1,000Mbps. These kinds of speeds are typically only available in locations with fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP), commonly known as ‘full fibre’ connections, or areas covered by Virgin Media's network. However, the big...
1000BASE-T is aGigabit Ethernetstandard that operates at a speed of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) over copper wiring. One Gb is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). The standard uses four pairs of Category 5 (Cat5) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cables to achie...
When the device is placed on the charging pad, the transmitter coil creates an alternating current (AC) magnetic field, inducing an alternating current in the receiver coil within the device. This current is then converted back into direct current (DC) to charge the battery. Wireless charging ...
eRedCap (Enhanced Reduced Capability) was introduced in 3GPP Release 18 as an evolution of the RedCap (NR-Light) framework. It supports a reduced data bandwidth to 5 MHz
Plenty of organisations are already testing 5G delivery methods. Samsung says it’s managed to achieve 7.5Gbps, while Nokia claims a more impressive 10Gbps. There’s also China’s Huawei, which has managed 3.6Gbps. When you compare that to the best speeds in the UK – EE’s 300Mbps LTE...
Kilobits per second (Kbps):This is a unit of measurement for data transfer speed. One kilobit is equivalent to 1,000 bits per second. Megabits per second (Mbps): These are the units of measurement for throughput and network bandwidth. They are utilized to demonstrate the speed of an interne...
The peak speed that can be achieved is also related to the frequency. The low band has a nice peak speed, say in the 400 Mbps range. Mid-band has much better, say in the 1Gbps range. So, if you are in a less dense area and want some real speed but more importantly, ...
