Huawei collaborated with NTT DOCOMO and TOBU RAILWAY in 5G system trial at TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN as part of 5G Field Trials initiated by Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan (MIC).

The system trial was conducted as part of NTT DOCOMO’s contract of MIC’s 5G Field Trial with an aim to research technical conditions to use the 28GHz band and other candidate spectrums for 5G in dense urban area by investigating into radio propagation characteristics as well as evaluating 5G system performance with focus on enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB) applications.

In December 2017, Huawei had demonstrated 5G long-distance and high-speed data transmission between TOKYO SKYTREESM and a shopping facility at TOBU RAILWAY’s Asakusa Station on the 28GHz band together with NTT DOCOMO and TOBU RAILWAY. 

Huawei, as a partner of NTT DOCOMO’s 5G experimental trial and contract of MIC’s 5G Field Trial, will continue to evaluate 5G data transmission and system performance required for video communication services toward Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond.
