How was Samsung able to achieve 711 Mbps upload on 5G?

The 5G demonstration was carried out using Samsung’s own 5G and 4G base stations and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 5G modem.

To achieve such high transfer speed, Samsung made use of carrier aggregation technology by combining two or more frequency bands in Samsung’s 5G Compact Macro solution. The same 5G mmWave Compact Macro station was used by the company to speed up transfer rates in Seoul’s Metro network during a demonstration held in September.
