Who will work in the factory of the future? Smart manufacturing is bringing factories back to the U.S., but what kinds of jobs will those factories offer? To understand the smart factory workforce, we need to understand the networks, hardware and software that will...
Today’s wireless networks are hugely complex already, and will acquire new layers of sophistication as the industry launches 5G services. Traditional rule-based, deterministic algorithms no longer cut it.
Network operators require more dynamic methods to get the best from their infrastructure and services. Artificial intelligence...

Emerging enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), ultra Low Latency (uRLLC) and massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) services are driving a fundamental change of wireless networks.
While CPRI technology delivers a powerful platform for mainstream 4G/LTE applications, it will not scale for new 5G services. RAN ecosystem...
IoT is an emerging technology currently in piloting and live implementation phase at a number of operators across the globe. IoT is expected to multiply the number of mobile connections in coming years, being one of the main growth initiatives for operators and network...
While the global urbanization trend seems to be unstoppable, with cities continuing to be hubs for social and economic opportunity across the globe, the cost of living in cities is skyrocketing, threatening to increase social inequality, slow down economic growth, and push up crime...

Expected 5G spectrum utilization will mean major engineering and design challenges in terms of spectrum characteristics: very high frequencies and very large channels, with high expectations for performance. Vendors, operators and government initiatives around the world are testing and trialing 5G technologies to understand...
As the enterprise relentlessly moves to wireless as the default communication modality in all locations, the role of wireless connectivity changes and performance requirements grow. Wi-Fi continues to be the fundamental technology for indoor data traffic, but cellular and other technologies play an increasingly...
The introduction of 4G LTE seven years ago caused a tipping point where wireless
connections, now faster than wires, became a legitimate enterprise-grade WAN
source. Since then, enterprises have leveraged this technology to make money, save
money, and create competitive advantages for themselves. 5G promises exponential
improvements to...
End-to-end network slicing holds promise as the key to unlocking new business opportunities with 5G to drive revenue growth. So exactly how will service providers benefit from slicing? And how can they overcome technical challenges?
This webinar, developed by Strategy Analytics, will discuss where business...
Network topologies are changing as consumer and enterprise demands for bandwidth increase at a staggering rate. The advancements we’re seeing in wireless connectivity are not possible without corresponding advancements in the wired physical plant. Much of this innovation is dependent on the availability of...
