- Friday | 21st September, 2018
Vodafone UK’s chief technology officer Scott Petty said 5G technology would ultimately enable speeds of 1 Gbps, opening up a plethora of opportunities for ultra-high definition content and immersive services. Iris was able to “high five” a holographic Houghton and see a demonstration of her football skills up close, even though Houghton was hundreds of miles away. “Latency opens up a whole host of new capabilities in gaming, in virtual reality and augment reality applications but also for businesses,” Petty said. NEWBURY, England (Reuters) – Vodafone said it would have 1,000 5G-enabled network sites in Britain by 2020, delivering blisteringly fast speeds and near-instant response times that it demonstrated by making Britain’s first holographic mobile call on Thursday. Vodafone demonstrated the technology in a holographic call between England Women’s soccer captain Steph Houghton in Manchester and 11-year old fan Iris in the company’s UK’s headquarters in Newbury, near London.
