In my previous blog post last week on 5G, we saw how Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is considered a cornerstone use case for 5G and a new source of revenue stream for both MNOs and CPEs manufacturers. But if LTE is already capable of reaching extremely high Broadband speed, over the Gigabit data rate, why can 5G succeed where LTE hasn’t reached? Well, the first reason is economic as the Telecom...
Fixed Wireless Access has huge opportunities and challenges for the Telecom Industry with the deployment of the 5G system, but why is so important? Up to now, LTE is still considered the fastest developing mobile technology ever. Since its launch in early 2010, it has been successfully deployed worldwide to billions of users, both for mobility and for fixed use cases, and its growth is expected...
Like many things in our lives, and as a result of the technological revolution, cities are subject to a constant transformation as they respond to the needs of the citizens who live in them and maintain or increase their sustainability. With the emergence of the IoT (Internet of Things), cities will undergo huge transformations aimed at both solving the problems which, in many cases, are already...
It is estimated that with 5G technology, by 2025 there will be some 8 million autonomous vehicles circulating on the world’s roads, 31 billion connected objects and over 88 Smart Cities. And 5G is one of the technological pillars on which these predictions are based. Irruption and disruption of 5G networks In the future we’ll be talking about Gbps where now we speak of Mbps. However, the most...
Following on from a previous article on DSL and its scientific bases, I now want to review the fundamentals of another technology: radio. As with a DSL, the ability to transmit data in any radio communications system – from the very first Marconi experiments to 5G networks – is bound by Shannon’s equation, based on the channel’s bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. In radio, we also have another...
Every day we hear more news on 5G, its progress and evolution, as the demand for connectivity between vehicles, towns and cities, devices and sensors continues to grow. As you might expect, the railway sector and it's train communications are no less affected, being one of the main players anxiously awaiting these new developments to adapt the 5G technology and use in their area of railway intra...
