Spanish telecommunications operator Telefónica announced the successful validation of its new Open RAN 5G Standalone small cell.
In a release, the European carrier said that the demonstration was carried out by Node-H and Askey in Telefonica’s Technology & Automation Lab.
Telefonica noted that this demo is...
Mobile network operators are already planning and deploying new C-Band radios, ahead of the first wave of spectrum that will be cleared and available in December of this year. This new spectrum will play a critical role in filling the spectrum gap between millimeter...
As digital services evolve and users continue to demand faster speeds and higher availability, network densification is proving to be a key driver for enabling successful 5G networks. Small cells, in particular, are seen by operators as a method of increasing cellular network capacity,...
The floodgate of Mobile World Congress 2021 announcements has opened! 5G Open RAN will undoubtedly be the biggest theme among them. On the first day of the event, the 5G behemoth Qualcomm announced the world’s first 3GPP Rel. 16 Small Cell platform FSM200xx as...
The partnership will tackle two small cell deployment challenges: electrical power and fiber connectivity
Corning announced that it is working with stored energy solutions provider EnerSys to speed up 5G deployment by simplifying the delivery of fiber and electrical power to small cell wireless sites....
Technology advances increasingly blur the lines between the capabilities of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and other small cells. Many DAS networks have become less complex (at least easier to install) while small cells have become smarter.
Building upon its 2013 report, the HetNet Forum has...
Nextivity’s Supercell helps enterprises make the most of small cell signals
There are three foundational facts that are shaping the in-building cellular market. We know that the vast majority of mobile traffic originates from inside buildings; similarly, we know that modern businesses, regardless of size,...
Report: Put small cells "where there is high traffic demand but low signal quality"
Small cell deployments have followed a few broad trends in the past few years. The first wave serve to fill in holes in network coverage; the next wave was used to...
T&W: Small cells are expected to be “a major building block” for 5G networks
Mobile network operators are increasingly looking to small cell radio access nodes to densify capacity on LTE and 5G networks in order to increase capacity and support enhanced quality of experience...
Clearfield: RAN and core are obviously important but “none of that works without the fiber”
The role of fiber optics in 5G deployment is an often-overlooked part of the conversation, but according Clearfield Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Morgan, the role of physical network infrastructure is...
A variety of solutions and technologies are available to facilitate cellular communications, but not all solutions to this problem are created equally. In addition, some technologies are marketed as a cure-all while the actual application may be somewhat narrower.
By separating hype from reality, you...
Opponents consider 5G small cell installations to be at best an eye sore and at worst a serious health risk
5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology, will give consumers access to more information faster and make businesses more efficient, and will create an unprecedented level...
FCC Commissioner: "It's time to go back to the drawing board"
In an effort to accelerate small cell deployments in support of U.S. 5G leadership, the Federal Communications Commission last year adopted an order meant to streamline the review and permitting process associated with small...
In September last year, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission passed an order meant to make it easier for operators to deploy small cells and other wireless infrastructure by superseding state- and local-level regulations. The regulatory body, which passed the rule change 3-1, characterized the...
As carriers bring 5G to market, delivering a consistent, monetizable service is largely dependent on network densification--beyond upgrades at the macro level, this ongoing investment will include large-scale deployment of small cells.
For operators looking to harness millimeter wave spectrum, this is particularly important given...
Every enterprise mobility infrastructure investment made today will be expected to migrate to 5G. Infrastructure with a future-ready posture will minimize the surprises in that LTE to 5G transition.
Corning’s Future-Ready Mobility white paper shares best practices in developing a mobility infrastructure plan that includes...
Densification of cell sites and fiber networks has been ramping up in recent years as carriers cope with ever-increasing capacity needs and lay the groundwork for 5G. RCR Wireless News looks at the state of spectrum holdings, fiber deployments and how each of the...
Continued investments in network densification for both increasingly robust LTE networks, as well as 5G networks, represent a balancing act--location obviously matters, but considerations such as access to backhaul and interference from built-out urban environments all figure into the process. Here Sprint Regional Network...
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for the cellular coverage holes, dropped calls, unreliable connectivity, and poor reception that plague employees and guests inside middleprise buildings (i.e., those that are up to 500,000 sq. ft.).
Carriers and system integrators have all been challenged by the demands...
