Vodafone and Huawei made the world’s first 5G call from a computer in Barcelona, Spain this week, demonstrating potential speeds of over 2 gigabits per second. The test utilized the latest standard, 3GPP-approved Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G New Radio, which Vodafone claims rival telecoms’ systems do not meet.



The introduction of 5G, experts say, will bolster the scope of wireless connectivity. “The main evolution compared with today’s 4G and 4.5G (LTE advanced) is that beyond data speed improvements, new [internet of things] and critical communication use cases will require new types of improved performance,” security firm Gemalto explained in a blog post.
