  The vision of 5G is cloud-native networks automatically delivering capacity on-demand. The reality, however, is that most operators are taking an incremental approach to cloudification and trying to understand where to direct capex given the need for holistic modernization in addition to...
Interference that can degrade capacity and quality of service is becoming ever more troublesome as operators roll out 5G NR using new bands that previously contained other services. This is particularly important for the rollout of 5G NR because of its demanding use cases...
Previous generational upgrade cycles required operators to undertake the expensive, time-consuming process of spectrum refarming. But, for 5G, dynamic spectrum sharing allows carriers to side-step that process by transmitting LTE and 5G NR in the same band at the same time.
DSS, coupled with the...

The fluctuations in power availability...
The new IEEE 802.11ax amendment (Wi-Fi 6) intends to improve the WLAN system efficiency, focusing on the throughput per station in dense and outdoor environments. Wi-Fi 6 allows for the first time the scheduled communication of several stations (STA) at the same time, to...
What will it take to get users who are still holding onto 3G rate plans and devices to give them up so carriers can re-farm 3G spectrum?
More compelling 4G rates plans, for one, according to new analysis by OpenSignal. The network and device performance...
Keysight Technologies has laid claim to being the first test equipment company to achieve Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) validation of a cellular vehicle-to-everything communications radio frequency conformance test case.
The test case validation took place in Austin, Texas on October 23, Keysight said, and...
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030. 6G could offer high-fidelity holograms,...
Wireless Telecom Group has agreed to acquire Boulder, Colorado-based Holzworth Instrumentation. The company makes phase noise analyzers and signal generators, and WTG said that its instruments "are used by government labs, the semiconductor industry, and network equipment providers, among others, in research and automated...
