5G, the next generation of wireless technology, is poised to have a significant impact on the commercial real estate industry--if stakeholders can coalesce on a straightforward strategy to bring 5G indoors. As 5G ’s enhanced IoT capabilities enable more of the built environment to...
Operational intelligence does not come just by connecting machines; it requires advanced analytics to sort the data and recommend a course of action. Many critical use cases at the edge can’t wait for the cloud. Instead, they demand insights and decisioning at the source,...
How is service assurance evolving to meet the needs of virtualized/hybrid, multi-cloud networks? Agile, software-centric networks present new challenges for visibility, particularly in the context of automation, container use and implementation of multi-access edge computing.
RCR Wireless News explores the current challenges and state of...
Machine learning and artificial intelligence-based technologies in the smart building sector are generating new opportunities for value creation in commercial and industrial real estate. Innovations in image recognition, natural language processing and behavioral data are generating a deeper understanding of how occupants interact inside...
The vision for 5G includes support for multi-Gbps throughput for a range of devices, both fixed and mobile. Early 5G deployments show the promise of millimeter wave in delivering enhanced broadband, but what's next?
In the U.S. the FCC is planning spectrum auctions for high-band...
The problem with smart cities is no one wants to buy them. Because no one knows how to sell them. The technology is proven, but the commercial models are only just emerging.
This report discusses how tech vendors have developed new business models around certain...
IBW is taking off, driven by a convergence of technologies (small cells and CRAN, new DAS architectures, MEC, CBRS, MulteFire), connectivity needs (IoT, enterprise and venue applications, high-capacity/low-latency connectivity in venues), and business models (private networks, neutral hosts).
This webinar looks at the evolution of...
How does the telecom industry get to 5G and ultra-dense networks? Small cells don't really scale well now -- not because of the equipment itself but because of siting and regulatory issues plus cost and backhaul. How does the industry get to even denser...
Offloading traffic at the edge holds the key to making the economics of 5G service delivery tenable. From keeping video traffic local to enabling ultra-low latency operations for autonomous vehicle operations, the ability to provision virtual network elements at the edge and then manage...
One of the primary 5G use cases is ultra reliable low latency communications, which delivers real-time connectivity for emerging applications such as drone-based services, manufacturing or automotive automation and mobile AR/VR. But, to truly deliver a whole new level of responsiveness, the compute and...
As buildings become smarter, the need to propagate signals will be challenged by a myriad of factors including the age of the building, the materials used in construction, the needs of a potentially diverse tenant base, and physical location just to name a few....
The industrial sector is one of the last to undergo digital transformation. But the next industrial revolution will be like nothing we have seen before, worth $6.8 trillion to the global economy, more than the value of the entire consumer internet market, according to...
Enterprises have an increasing number of choices for wireless network technology, with private LTE starting to emerge as a viable option for enterprise deployments. With new options come tough decisions about network management, maintenance, optimization and troubleshooting.
RCR Wireless News breaks down the various flavors...
Wi-Fi’s massive success (more than half of mobile device traffic is over Wi-Fi) has not stopped Wi-Fi from evolving. Wi-Fi continues to improve in performance, ease of use, and its ability to meet demanding use cases, such as voice, real-time high-definition video, IoT applications,...
Intelligent building technology is poised to transform nearly ever aspect of the physical workplace in the coming years. From the ability to centralize the management of myriad of industrial control systems to the ability to create optimized micro-climates through out a building or factory...
Telecom operators are well positioned to take advantage of the growing commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (drone) market. Many operators have already embraced drones as an efficient and cost effective way to improve network operations and maintenance.
RCR Wireless News explores the role of drones in...
AT&T is moving forward with its nationwide build of a public safety LTE network for the First Responders Network Authority, or FirstNet, equipped with priority and preemption -- but the move to a broadband cellular network for first responders isn't the only technology evolution...
Part of the 5G vision includes an on demand, bespoke data pipe that perfectly optimized to meet the needs of any service.
 Network and spectrum resources will see maximum efficiency of usage in this model, but how do we get there?
