Understanding Cellular Bandwidth and Why It Matters
As of January of this year, 4.66 billion people—more than half of the world’s population—were actively using the internet. Of this number, a whopping 92.6% access the internet using mobile devices. With such a vast number of people accessing massive data, today’s service providers are in need of network upgrades to increase bandwidth capacity. Cellular […]
The Global State of the O-RAN Market in 2021
As mobile network operators (MNOs) face increasing operating costs and competitive pressures, they are increasingly veering away from legacy proprietary networks. Instead, they are moving towards open and virtualized architectures in an effort to increase flexibility, reduce costs and break away from vendor lock-in, allowing them to achieve operational gains and boost return on investment […]

Looking Ahead to 2021: Our Top 5 Wireless Predictions
This past year (2020) was a busy year for the wireless world, particularly in the area of FCC auctions. The year started with the mmWave auction (a staggering 3,400 MHz of spectrum) completed in January, then the CBRS auction in March, and the RDOF (Rural Digital Opportunity Fund) auction in December. The C-band auction has […]
How to improve coverage for 5G mmWave
Not all 5G is created equal. 5G low-band operates at 600-2200 MHz, 5G mid-band at 2.5/3.5 GHz, and 5G high-band at 24-40 GHz. Low band is excellent for wireless coverage but doesn’t deliver much bandwidth. High-band (also known as mmWave, or millimeter wave) may deliver blazingly fast broadband, but a cell tower typically only covers […]
What is CBRS … and What It Means for Your Building
CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) is the wireless spectrum from 3.55 to 3.70 GHz – and mobile operators paid $4.5 billion in the recently concluded FCC auctions for their slices. Spectrum is scarce and expensive, right? Here’s the kicker – for enterprises, it’s FREE. That’s right: while mobile operators spend billions on Priority Access Licenses to supplement […]
