Nokia said UAE-headquartered operator du passed another milestone on its path to 5G after the companies completed a demonstration of 360-degree virtual reality (VR) video streaming at the GITEX 2016 technology conference. Content shot on Nokia’s Ozo VR camera was streamed to head mounted displays over Nokia’s AirScale Radio Access equipment. Nokia refers to the kit as 5G-ready, and explained that the demonstration is therefore an important step for du’s plan to deploy 5G services in 2020 by demonstrating a real-world use case for the next-generation technology. The radio network utilised 400 MHz of bandwidth in the 4.5 GHz frequency, and multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technology to achieve 5G-like data rates, Nokia stated.
