(Telecompaper) Vodafone Germany said the Vodafone Chair for Mobile Communications Systems at the Technical University of Dresden, led by Professor Gerhard Fettweis, is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. The chair was originally endowed by Mannesmann, in 1994. On the occasion of the anniversary, a 5G laboratory will be inaugurated at the university. The lab has already achieved wireless transmission speeds of 5 Gbps, it said. A total of EUR 500 million have been raised by Fettweis over the past 20 years, it said. A few months ago, Vodafone introduced LTE Advanced in Dresden, operating at capacity of up to 225 Mbps. Fettweis has overseen nearly 250 undergraduates and almost 70 PhD students.
