Verizon plots 28 GHz 5G tests

*Verizon* is moving ahead with its mm-wave wireless plans, filling
applications for 28 Ghz-band experimental licenses in the US.

The company has requested a six-month license to test equipment from
Ericsson, Intel, Samsung and Qualcomm.

Most of its interest seems to be in the propagation characteristics of 5G
kit in the band, since the filing says “The devices to be tested will
employ directional, beamforming antennas, and their orientation in the
horizontal and vertical planes will vary�.

It's asked that the license apply to office locations in Eueless, Texas,
and South Plainfield, New Jersey. The testing will be within one kilometre
of each location, and Verizon will coordinate with satellite earth stations
“within a 25-mile radius�, as well as with existing fixed microwave users
in the 27.5 – 28.5 GHz.

Samsung was already listed for Verizon tests in Euless, and Nokia is also
working in the area. A spokesperson for the company told FierceWireless
it's also working with Verizon in the area.

“The proposed STA operations will advance an understanding of the
characteristics of millimeter wave spectrum (specifically in the 28 GHz
band), channel bandwidths, and uplink/downlink ratios for residential and
commercial deployments,� the filing (PDF) says.

The United States government is keen on the 28 GHz band for 5G
applications, and is pressing ahead with using that band in spite of a
decision at last year's World radiocommunication conferences (WRC) leaving
that band out of International Telecommunications Union considerations, for
now.

Detailed frequency and location information is given in a separate filing
