Regional U.S. operator C Spire has announced that it has successfully demonstrated a fixed-wireless 5G solution in Mississippi using equipment supplied by Nokia. According to a company press release, the 5G wireless link delivered a direct connection to the telco’s C Spire Fiber pay-TV service, including ultra-high definition resolution video, with speeds up to 2.2Gbps and ultra-low latency below 1.4 milliseconds.
C Spire is one of only a handful of U.S. telecoms operators with fiber-optic infrastructure and 28GHz spectrum assets, which it claims will enable it to make the next generation of ultra-fast digital connectivity a reality.
“This is the kind of real-world application that will help change forever how we live, work and play,” said C Spire CTO Stephen Bye.
