Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) has revealed it plans to kick start a pilot of 5G services in the fourth quarter of this year, working in partnership with Ericsson of Sweden. Trials are due to take place over the pilot network in 'one-north', Singapore's science, business and IT hub, using trial spectrum allocated by the Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA). Singtel and Ericsson confirmed the initiative yesterday (23 July), when they demonstrated 3D augmented reality (AR) streaming over a 5G network operating in the 28GHz millimeter wave band. In a press release it was noted that the demonstration enabled participants 'to view and interact with lifelike virtual objects such as a photorealistic human anatomy and a 360-degree image of the world. The immersive experience was then streamed in real-time to a remote audience via 5G'.
