Turkcell and ZTE have surpassed 32Gbps speeds in a 5G-Advanced trial in Istanbul, claiming a new record for the fastest 5G-Advanced speed in Europe. The NRDC trial utilised ZTE’s 1.6 GHz bandwidth mmWave AAU, 64TR N78 AAU, and ZTE’s commercial CPE.

“The significance of 5G-Advanced cannot be overstated. This next-generation technology is designed to enhance connectivity in unprecedented ways. By improving data transmission rates, reducing latency, and increasing overall capacity, 5G-Advanced lays the groundwork for a plethora of new applications. These include live broadcasting, extended reality (XR), ultra-HD video streaming, and ultra-low latency services, all of which have become increasingly integral to today’s digital landscape. As a result, users can expect an immersive audio-visual experience that not only meets but exceeds current standards,” said the companies in a statement.

Both companies believe that the potential applications of 5G-Advanced technology are vast and varied. From smart cities to autonomous vehicles, the improvements in connectivity can transform industries, enabling them to operate in ways previously unimaginable. This technology not only promises to enhance existing services but also paves the way for entirely new business models and opportunities.
