Low latency, ultra-reliability, fast speeds -- 5G networks promise it all. How do operators and vendors make sure that they're truly delivering, particularly when it comes to serving enterprises? What changes are necessary to optimize and monitor 5G networks when you're using them to...
The cloud is already everywhere in telecom. CSPs and hyperscalers are finding more ways to work together and grow the future of 5G. Whether it’s the public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, the telco cloud convergence is happening.
From cloud-native 5G Standalone (SA) Core...
Your community suffers from insufficient broadband capabilities, and you are eager to make a difference in closing the digital divide this decade while taking advantage of new available funding. Whether you are a service provider, policy maker or other stakeholder in the Digital Divide...
This webinar aims to address one of the biggest questions around 5G: How do you monetize it? Thanks to technological advancements, spectrum access liberalization and changing user habits and demand, there are emerging opportunities — and challenges — for operators to transform their business...
In early December, 3GPP has reached a consensus on the scope of 5G NR Release 18. This is a significant milestone marking the beginning of 5G Advanced — the second wave of wireless innovations that will fulfill the 5G vision. Release 18 will build on...
There's a common line of thinking in telecom--real value and innovation only comes with even-numbered Gs. While 5G has been the talk of the industry for years with no signs of slowing, has it really lived up to the long-held world-changing promises used to...
With the benefits of eSIM being realized as a global, zero-touch provisioning advanced connectivity technology, the market will respond competitively with many options heralding the same benefits. With IoT solutions requiring reliable connectivity, it’s important for eSIM solutions to deliver on the promise of...
Accessibility to Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the diverse data it uncovers is key to combating some of the globe's most significant challenges that require improved situational awareness, from natural disasters to hunger and even sustainability. Increasingly, more and more companies are leveraging...
Major cloud providers like Google Cloud are steadily making inroads with enterprises looking to embrace the Industry 4.0 movement and take advantage of localized data processing and the near real-time responsiveness it enables. 5G connectivity is also at the core of the movement but...
Having seen most of its development under the shadows of a global pandemic, Rel. 17 is putting a solid foundation for the next phase of 5G. The biggest focus of the standard has been expanding the benefits of 5G beyond traditional smartphone and broadband...
Wi-Fi 6 offers a host of advanced features, such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, target wake time, 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode and transmit beamforming.
The Wi-Fi Alliance predicted that the certification of Wi-Fi 6 at the end of 2019 would mark a significant inflection point in...
There's a big change hitting the telecom industry right now. Hardware and software are being decoupled with cost coming out of the former and strategic investments shifting to the latter. This sea change could serve to threaten the long-standing business models of large, incumbent...
With Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7 advancing rapidly, it’s essential to take a closer look at global adoption trends, the evolving device ecosystem and the future spectrum allocations shaping connectivity.
On December 3rd, join experts from RCR Wireless News, Spirent and LitePoint in this new webinar to take a deep dive...
The need for ubiquitous, reliable connectivity was brought into sharp focus throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, funding for rural broadband has become a priority for many governments around the world. But the true burden still falls on service providers, which are now...
With some operators projecting MEC-related service revenues in the 2022 timeframe, what's the current state of play? Beyond operators building out new compute infrastructure, how can existing public cloud infrastructure and on-prem enterprise equipment be leveraged to more quickly deliver on latency-sensitive use cases...
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,...

There is considerable pressure on telecom operators to return their shareholder's value, particularly considering 5G investments. Most 5G networks have been commercially rolled out or planned using sub-6 GHz spectrum. Complementary to 5G Sub-6 GHz networks, 5G mmWave, promises to deliver multiple Gigabit data rates to the end-users and can...
Fixed wireless access (FWA) is – at long last – a viable tool in the toolkit, thanks to a combination of technological advances and shifting market trends. Both mobile and converged operators are in an excellent position to use their licensed wireless spectrum and...
