The emergence of compact wireless routers promises to optimize the deployment of distributed locations for different sorts of businesses. As a result of developments in wireless technology, two widely used concepts appeared in the telecommunications sector related to IP communications equipment (CPE): Wireless LAN and Wireless WAN. Both refer to wireless technologies in the office – used as a...
5G FWA vs fiber – Which is best?
Although superfast broadband - with a download speed of at least 30Mbps - is by now widely available, the demand for services that use ever-higher volumes of data with equal availability and reliable connectivity is steadily increasing. This has been highlighted by the COVID pandemic and the shift towards working from home. In response, governments around the world have been establishing...
How software can enable rolling stock digitalization
5G is allowing rail operators to gain a competitive edge through digitalizing its rolling stock. However, managing large volumes of widely dispersed network equipment can be challenging.
This post discusses how SD-WAN technology provides rail operators with the software tools they need to overcome these challenges.
5G opens diverse FWA market opportunities
5G’s superior performance makes it a truly enabling technology for FWA – but its exact capabilities depend on how it uses its available spectrum. This post looks at 5G possibilities and their impact on the 5G FWA market. ‘5G FWA’ is a somewhat minimal phrase, yet unpacking it reveals much about the present and future of high-performance telecommunications. FWA, or fixed wireless access, is not...
5G-NSA to 5G-SA Migraton: challenges and opportunities
I remember when I worked on the first GSM protocol stack as a young software engineer and holding a kind of “prehistoric” heavy TACS analogue mobile phone that was nothing more than a device for making calls. But it worked! And it achieved what it was designed for. At that time, our stack development was based on the Release 96 of the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute)...
mmWave: the real asset of 5G
Every day, we are becoming more and more familiar with 5G. The technology, which only a year ago was just beginning to be deployed as a promising novelty – an opportunity to open a Pandora’s box of new innovations, applications and businesses –, is now on everybody’s lips at “coffee talks” to plan what to do in our new, fully connected world. When we think about how 5G could reshape this world,...
