AT&T Plans 5G Demo At RTX 2018 In August

July 2, 2018

AT&T is planning to show a 5G demonstration at this year’s RTX 2018 Animation Festival in Austin, according to a new Special Temporary Authority (STA) request filed by the carrier with the FCC. The event takes place at the Austin Convention Center from August 3 through August 5, with the filing asking permission for a full month from July 30 July 30 to August 30. Over that timeframe, AT&T says it plans to showcase the functionality, features, and capabilities of 5G, specifically through the use of “experimental equipment” on the 28GHz spectrum. Aside from putting the possibilities of next-generation networking on display, the service provider says the demo could garner valuable feedback. That would be used, in turn, to improve optimization of the system and enable further development of the platform leading up to its expected 2019 launch.
