Most people, even in the industry, would never think of […]
This is the fourth in a series of blog posts on the Evolution of Fronthaul, links to other posts below. As wireless operators announce their plans for the introduction of 5G services, ecosystem players are developing and introducing a new range of capabilities to pave the way for a smooth transition from 4G to 5G. […]
A fundamental building block for 5G networks is coming in the form of mmWave technology, which will enable key aspects of future autonomous vehicles. 5G will give a big boost to self-driving autonomous vehicles. Intel goes so far as to say that 5G is like oxygen for autonomous vehicles. Really? Yes, I have to agree. […]
