The 855 also support the latest Wi-Fi standards – 802.11ax referred to as Wi-Fi 6 with 8x8 sounding and WPA3 security, and 802.11ay using 60GHz mmWave technology.
Millimetre-wave (mmWave) technology is a promising candidate for meeting the intensifying demand for ultra fast wireless connectivity, especially in high-end enterprise networks.
Overall, this chapter shows that massive hybrid array is a very promising technique for 5G mmWave cellular communications, with vast open research challenges.
Despite these challenges, there has been great interest in mmWave technology for point-to-point communications.
The device will "be able to access both 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz".
By combining the mmWave technology with the use of multiple MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) antennas arrays, Qualcomm has demonstrated the ability to create several formed beams to overcome the interference issue.
This is focusing on how the propagation of 5G mmWave signals will impact the man-made and natural environment and in doing so hopefully reveal what network planners and local authorities need to consider when planning a new 5G network.
Article [11] discusses possible future developments for HetNet in fifth-generation (5G) communications, where massive MIMO and mmWave technologies may be included, emphasizing that RA solutions will once again be one of the most critical issues.
With the inclusion of several wireless technologies like sub-6GHz, mmWave, and NB-IoT, the applications for 5G are much broader than previous generations, offering new opportunities not just for device OEMs, but also for enterprises and operators.
Austin-based Nitero is one of the few companies in the world capable of supplying 60 GHz mmWave radio technologies for something like wireless VR.
In addition to the QTM052 mmWave module, Qualcomm introduced a family of RF modules (QPM56xx) for sub-6GHz communications that will also provide additional frequencies for improved 5G coverage.
