Maybe it is just the way we ask the questions, but… test and measurement company Keysight Technologies has sought, effectively, to dispel any rumour and disquiet in the ranks about delays with industrial-grade 5G devices to go with industrial-grade private 5G networks. The US-based...

The total number of private LTE and 5G networks will increase to 13,500 installations globally by 2026, according to analyst group Berg Insight; this is a 10-fold increase, roughly, from a figure today of “more than” 1,000 private LTE deployments and 200–300 private 5G...

The 5G industry has seen phenomenal growth over the past few years, but it is only just at the beginning of its journey. With the evolution toward 5G Advanced, there is still much to be done to fully unlock the value of the 5G...

Nokia is to deploy a private 5G network at industrial robot and automation specialist maker KUKA’s ‘smart’ production and development centre in Augsburg, in Germany.

Germany has issued 67 local spectrum licences for private LTE and 5G to enterprises since November 2019. What should we make of this number, and the run-rate so far for industrial-grade cellular in the home of Industrie 4.0? Because 67 does not sound like that...

With 3GPP Release 16 being finalized soon, let’s have a look at some of the highlights it will bring to C-V2X. When C-V2X was introduced in 3GPP Release 14, it was focused on enabling basic safety use cases . Release 16 builds on Release...

The physics of time-division duplexing in radio communications means 5G could, in certain frequency bands, struggle to achieve the ultra low latencies it promises. Worse, in some markets, regulatory forces have compounded the challenge with backwards rules about 5G radio operations. As a consequence, radio...
