MB 5G Operations Overview
Windows 10, version 1903 is the first version of Windows to support a preview release of 5G mobile broadband driver development by IHV partners. 5G is the friendly name for New Radio (NR), which was introduced in the 3GPP Release 15 specification. NR is a comprehensive set of standards that is envisioned to provide true long-term evolution to existing 4th generation LTE technologies, potentially covering all cellular communication needs from narrowband to ultra-broadband, and from nominal to mission-critical latency requirements. As a technology, 5G is expected to develop over a decade-long time frame.
This section describes the MBIM extensions first released in Windows 10 version 1903, which enable hardware partners to develop an MBB driver with data-class support for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) over 5G “non-standalone” EPC-based NR networks. The data-plane support and enablement for 5G throughput and commercialization requirements are not part of this Windows release and not described in this section.
