How to Maximize In-Building 5G Coverage and Capacity
Tomorrow’s business will run on 5G networks, with new opportunities enabled by private enterprise networks, IoT connectivity, and faster mobile data speeds. An estimated 725 million 5G devices will be sold worldwide this year. As communications service providers (CSPs) increase the rollout of 5G services, seamless coverage everywhere is an absolute necessity, including indoors. Unfortunately, […]
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 […]
5G Deployment: CBRS or C-Band?
Without a doubt, 5G is the future of wireless communications, enabling better user experiences and transforming the way we live. However, many technologies related to 5G can create more confusion than clarity, such as mmWave, 5G NR, sub-6, C-Band, CBRS, mid-band, high-band, etc. The available radio spectrums involved in the deployment of 5G technology can […]
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 […]
