Short answer: No — and here’s why. Imagine buying a new 5G phone only to discover it uses one RF chain. What would that mean for your experience? Would the […]

Recently, I have read an interesting white paper from Anritsu, which covered trends in wireless frequency band allocation for 5G-A and 6G. The most recent WRC was held in Dubai, […]

If you’re living in the UAE, you’ve probably noticed the new billboards across the streets promoting the latest evolution of 5G technology. Etisalat is calling it 5.5G (5G-Advanced) while DU […]

mmWave offers the fastest 5G speeds available today; however, its use cases are currently limited. With its extremely short range and poor penetration through obstacles, mmWave mainly makes sense in […]

Ofcom is auctioning a total of 5.4 GHz of mmWave spectrum across the 26 GHz and 40 GHz bands. This marks a significant milestone for 5G evolution in the UK […]

5G FWA isn’t just a “nice-to-have” – it’s the future of home connectivity. The latest data from CTIA shows a clear trend: 5G FWA is driving nearly all new broadband growth […]

The question is: Actual 5G or Icon-only 5G. A study based on the mobile app SignalTracker shows that nearly 40% of 5G connections are actually 4G, as per PolicyTracker. Actual […]

When discussing 5G NTN, it’s important to understand what NTN is, how it functions, and the purpose of Transparent Architecture. What is 5G NTN? 5G NTN refers to the integration […]

Network Slicing is essentially the ability to divide your network into individual use cases, each tailored to provide specialised services. Traditionally, in 4G, the APN (Access Point Name) was probably […]

For the introduction of 5G, 3GPP has specified five possible configurations, or ‘options’, for connecting to an EPC or a new 5G core network (six if the current 4G system […]

Synchronization in 5G ensures precise timing and coordination across the network, enabling key technologies like TDD, beamforming, and ultra-low latency. 5G TDD networks utilise the same frequency for both uplink […]
