Ericsson will feature 5G-LTE Dual Connectivity and 5G Multipoint Connectivity at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015) in Barcelona next month.
The telecom equipment vendor said its 5G radio test bed topped 5 Gbps throughput though the 5G standards are not yet established and commercialized networks expected in 2020 only.

Nokia Networks is also demonstrating its 5G capabilities at the telecom event in March.
5G-LTE dual connectivity will enable 5G networks to provide multi-standard and multi-band support in both devices and radio access, while 5G multipoint connectivity will be important for supporting multi-layer networks consisting of both macro and small cell coverage.
Ericsson stated that it will feature 5G radio test bed including both 5G devices and 5G radio base stations operating in 15 GHz band at MWC 2015.
