Boingo Wireless CTO discusses MulteFire opportunity
The ability to deploy LTE in all unlicensed spectrum significantly lowers the barrier to entry for enterprises looking to take control of their connectivity needs. Driven by the MulteFire Alliance, and with compatible equipment coming to market, MulteFire will...
Operators and their customers can't wait for 5G to be commercialized and scaled--the capacity crunch is here today, particularly in the era of unlimited data.
To solve this problem, operators are using multi-channel carrier aggregation for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum, 4x4 MIMO and 256...
Fine related to Qualcomm agreement with Apple regarding LTE chipsets
The European Union Commissioner of Competition Margrethe Vestager this week announced a $1.2 billion fine against chipmaker Qualcomm, alleging the U.S. company influenced consumer choice through an exclusivity arrangement with Apple. Qualcomm has said it...
MulteFire deploys LTE solely in the unlicensed 5 GHz band
Solving for in-building cellular connectivity is an increasingly pointed problem for venue owners. In the context of Class A real estate, tenants have to have strong, multi-carrier in-building cellular, but, in many cases, carriers aren't...
Unlicensed spectrum creates opportunity for carriers to add capacity and for enterprises to deploy private LTE networks
For both voice and data connectivity, as well as support for internet of things-type devices, operators are working to keep up with insatiable and steadily-increasing demand for capacity....

New Radio (NR) is the 3GPP effort for defining and standardizing a new Radio Access Technology (RAT) for 5G. NR will cover a wide set of use cases (eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC) and introduce new cutting-edge technologies such as millimeter-wave and beamforming. The first...
Nextivity adds multi-carrier support to hybrid active DAS solution
"You’ll see folks try to implement DAS, but no enterprise wants to pay $5-per-square-foot for cellular coverage they think the carrier should be paying for anyway. It’s just too much for the enterprise."
That was the message...
As 5G networks’ commercial deployment approaches, research in standardization, technologies, services, ecosystem, and deployment modes are increasingly deepening. It has been proven that services, rather than technologies, are the main driving forces of network development. Therefore, the functions and performance required for the implementation...
