A critical component in this architecture is the Distributed Unit (O-DU), responsible for...
FWA has emerged as a strategic tool to increase competition in residential broadband markets
While it’s true that U.S. telco providers built 5G for mobility, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) has become a standout use case for mid-band and millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G spectrum. In fact,...
Artificial intelligence and machine learning has been moving into many aspects of network testing, from the field to service assurance, to fuel automation and increased efficiency. So where exactly is AI/ML being applied in network testing and assurance today, how is it proving its...
Dell and SKT are integrating the carrier’s telco-specific large language model with existing BSS
Telecommunications companies are battling a challenging environment rife with increasing pressures around sustainability, market competition, and perhaps most importantly, the ever-present need to monetize their investments. AI has emerged as a...
As the demand for spectrum grows and projected 5G mid-band congestion looms in 2027, the urgency for additional spectrum for U.S. mobile operators becomes a critical issue to resolve.
In the National Spectrum Strategy Implementation Plan, the NTIA urges immediate exploration of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing...
The rise of artificial intelligence comes as operators are managing a number of pre-existing technological transitions. Such as the move to 5G Standalone, proliferation of disaggregated and open radio systems and long-term modernization efforts that will set the stage for the transition to 5G...
In this special episode of Will 5G Change the World, presented in partnership with NETSCOUT, we continue our exploration of telco AI. Beyond the technological challenges to adoption, there are a number of key considerations around organizations and operating models. As operators reinvent as...
As we reach the midpoint of the 10-year cycle following the commercial launch of 5G in 2018/19, attention is increasingly shifting towards 6G.What lessons from 5G can be applied or avoided for 6G? Will this next generation of cellular help the industry finally deliver...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize cellular networks, from right-sizing the network build to enhancing radio link performance and streamlining operations. One of the most significant impacts will be in optimizing network operations. By leveraging AI-powered solutions, operators can reduce costs, improve reliability,...
As the telecommunications industry continues to evolve, the debate around 6G is heating up. While some industry leaders are making significant investments in 6G research and development, driven by the promise of more energy-efficient next-generation networks, others remain skeptical. They question the tangible benefits...
In this special episode of Will 5G Change the World?, presented in partnership with NETSCOUT, we dive into the world of telco AI. As operators develop and implement long-term AI strategies, supporting it all are foundation models, specifically large language models. This episode, featuring...
It’s more important than ever that the federal government show united leadership around the necessity of technical spectrum studies
While a significant percentage of Broadcom’s revenue comes from broadband and Wi-Fi, it also has significant exposure to the mobile cellular market. Therefore, when it comes...
Ever dropped a call at the most inconvenient moment? Or struggled to get service with a sluggish radio connection despite being at "full bars"? In many cases, these frustrating experiences stem from unseen interference impacting the radio connection’s quality of service (QoS), reducing uplink...
RCR Wireless News recently hosted the Private Networks Global Forum. This is the fifth version of this event — in either its global or European format, and it feels like this technology has come a long way, and also not very far at all.
Explore...

The significant funding allocated to broadband deployment through various U.S. legislative efforts will play a crucial role in overcoming the primary obstacle to bridging the digital divide: the high infrastructure costs that have led to delayed or absent ROI. However, another challenge has emerged:...
Open RAN has long been described as a journey, with the first steps focused purely on disaggregating hardware and software, then reaggregating it into a function radio system.
Now the focus is shifting to more robust implementations that go beyond disaggregation and get into open,...
In modern networks, timing and synchronization are increasingly important due to the deployment of TDD midband spectrum for 5G and the demand for precise coordination for features like carrier aggregation, massive MIMO and positioning.
As MNOs focus on optimizing and densifying 5G networks, and as...
Samsung sees BEAD funding as a potential catalyst for more fixed wireless access deployments
