The automobile sector is developing at pace, with autonomous vehicles becoming a primary priority for many manufacturers in the industry. Car manufacturers in the autonomous vehicle space are partnering with telecommunications providers to access the advanced technologies necessary to get these innovative vehicles on the market. 5G technology is the leading technology to power driverless […]
The transport and logistics industry established itself as an indispensable service during the COVID-19 pandemic, when access to products was limited due to movement restrictions. This has resulted in increased consumer expectations of the industry in terms of shorter delivery timeframes, more detailed forecasting, and increased access to information on delivery status. To succeed in […]
The deployment of open-RAN is a much-discussed topic in the telecommunications industry, generating controversial opinions on both sides of the discussion. Open-RAN advocates are focused on the potential of the technology to empower telecommunications providers as it prevents vendor lock-in and allows for an operator or system integrator to create first-class network components through the use of […]
What is the NTIA 5G Challenge? NTIA’s Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) hosts the NTIA 5G Challenge in collaboration with the Department of Defense (DoD) to accelerate the adoption of open interfaces, interoperable components, and multi-vendor solutions. The 5G Challenge Preliminary Event: RAN Subsystem Interoperability comprises the first of two 5G Challenge competitions. In this first-year […]
While Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been around for years, they have not yet entered the mainstream. However, the increasing development and deployment of 5G and edge computing is paving the way for wide-scale adoption of AR & VR through providing solutions to overcome the challenges traditionally faced by the technologies. […]
The latest GSMA Mobile Economy Report predicted the number of global 5G connections to tip 1 billion by the end of 2022 and double to 2 billion by 2025 – at which point, 5G will account for a quarter of all mobile connections globally. The demand for 5G has been stronger than expected in […]
Though we live in an increasingly wireless world, that connectivity depends on wires under the ocean. Subsea or submarine cables are fiber optic cables that connect countries across the world via cables laid on the ocean floor. These cables – often thousands of miles in length – are able to transmit huge amounts of data […]
Most of the hype around 5G technology has so far focused on benefits to the consumer, such as almost instantaneous movie download, or powering the Internet of Things at home. However, there is a range of positive workplace impacts, too – namely greater efficiencies through increased speeds and more data. 5G technology will impact various […]
