    In March 2020, the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) was launched in Japan. Frequency bands of 3.7GHz, 4.5GHz and 28GHz were allocated for 5G services, and the 5G use cases fall into three broad categories: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC). The use cases and services that take advantage of the characteristics of each category are expected to be put to practical use, and experiments of practical use are underway. This paper introduces and demonstrates a touchless gate that can identify, authenticate and allow passage through the gate by using these features and 5G beam tracking to estimate location by taking advantage of the low latency of 5G and the straightness of the 28GHz band radio wave and its resistance to spreading. Since position estimation error due to reflected waves and other factors has been a problem, we implement an algorithm that tracks the beam and estimates the user's line of movement, and by using an infrared sensor, we made it possible to identify the gate through which the user passes with high probability. We confirmed that the 5G touchless gate is feasible for gate passage. In addition, we demonstrate that a new service based on high-speed high-capacity communication is possible at gate passage by taking advantage of the wide bandwidth of the 28GHz band. Furthermore, as a use case study of the 5G touchless gate, we conducted a joint experiment with an airline company.
