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...
The radio frequency environment in which wireless networks and devices operate is incredibly complex -- and completely invisible. But what if instead of sending out teams for drive-testing to get a snapshot of that RF environment on a given day in a given place,...
If vendors and users can prove out the deployment and business model associated with shared access to the 3.5 GHz CBRS band, the same approach could be applied to other underused spectrum. With GAA deployments in early days and priority access licenses about to...
Release 17 will introduce "NR-Light" for IoT
The Third Generation Partnership Project has put together its list of approved work for 5G New Radio features in Release 17, which is slated for completion in the second half of 2021.
