AT&T Awarded License to Test 5G in Austin

The FCC has awarded an experimental radio license to AT&T for the purpose of testing standards-based 5G at the convention center in Austin, Texas. Per their application, AT&T will run three 28GHz fixed base stations, with connections to six compatible user devices at up to 100 meters. To show off the real-world capabilities of 5G, they’ll demonstrate 4K TV, mobile gaming, and more.

The Austin test project is due to launch in late July.
