Check out the 5G connection breakdown ⤵️ 🌍 Global: 296 🌍 North America: 17 🌍 Latin America and Caribbean: 32 And for 4G LTE ⤵️ 🌍 Global: 712 🌍 North America: 18 🌍 Latin America and Caribbean: 133 #4G #LTE #5G #5GNR #MobileNetworks #Telecoms

Resurfacing a FierceWireless article authored by Mark Lowenstein last month where he shared his perspective on where #5G is today and what the future holds: ✅ We agree with his assessment that in the US we are still in the early innings and the upcoming future will focus on enhancing #capacity in #mobilebroadband and #FWA ✅ Incorporating standalone 5G core is important as it will deliver lower #latency while supporting #networkslicing; standalone deployments are yet in the infancy with much progress expected in 2024 ✅ While we focus on 5G today, many countries are still deploying 4G LTE and carriers there are looking for ways to maximize capacity in their 4G networks We are pleased to share that our industry-leading and patented #highcapacity #multibeam #lensantennas are an ideal solution for #lastmileconnectivity and are regarded as an integral component of the 4G and 5G networks in macros, venues and events! https://lnkd.in/gHJ3K2sN

5G has created a lot of excitement, but some say it hasn't lived up to the expectations. The current 5G technology is an improvement of 4G LTE called non-standalone (NSA) 5G. It's not exactly what consumers were expecting, but the tech will eventually get there. What do you think? #5G #Connectivity #5GSA https://lnkd.in/gvx7kCyV

4G vs. 5G: What's the Difference? Speed: With 4G, you can enjoy fast internet speeds, but 5G takes it to a whole new level, delivering blazing-fast downloads and uploads. Latency: 4G offers low latency, but 5G takes it even lower, practically eliminating delays. Capacity: While 4G networks can get congested in crowded areas, 5G boasts higher capacity, ensuring reliable performance even in densely populated cities. Innovation: 5G isn't just about speed; it's a game-changer for innovation! 5G opens doors to a world of possibilities, revolutionizing how we live, work, and play. Which do you prefer?

Many Mobile Radio Providers are Switching Off 5G DSS. Dynamic Spectrum Sharing, or DSS, for a very short time, seemed to be the best solution to extend the 5G networks quickly and with little investment on all sites with existing 4G (for example in the intermediate bands 1800-2100MHz) or on the contrary to expand 4G coverage on new 5G sites on low band (e.g. 700MHz). After a rapid deployment, especially in the low bands, almost all global operators have realized the strong limitations of this technology: 4G-5G anchoring prohibited on the same band (e.g. 700-700MHz), limitations on the use of Dual Carrier and Dual Connectivity 4G-5G and finally the introduction of excessive overhead which compromises the performance of both systems. As reported in the article linked below, the main American operators, AT&T and Verizon have already arranged to turn off DSS, while European operators such as T-Mobile have preferred not to even activate it. Even the history of the DSS seems to confirm that technology now has ever narrower parabolas, with sudden developments and sudden deaths... we have to ask ourselves how long we could sustain such high research and development costs in the face of economic returns increasingly shorter and negligible. https://lnkd.in/dUXTN6mP Diagram Credit - Nokia

ON THE 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF 5G, HAS IT MET YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Five years have passed since Verizon first launched its #5G #network in cities like #Chicago and #Minneapolis, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of #telecommunications #technology. Today, the United States leads the world in terms of the number of cities with 5G network access, with a remarkable 64% year-on-year growth in 5G #connections by the end of 2023, according to 5G Americas. With a staggering total of 197 million connections reported by the end of last year, North America stands at the forefront of 5G #deployment, offering some of the fastest 5G plans globally. However, despite the impressive #growth and widespread #adoption of 5G, questions linger about its real-world impact and effectiveness. While it's undeniable that 5G has #revolutionized mobile download speeds, with #providers like T-Mobile boasting a 400% increase in average overall download #speeds from January 2019 to February 2024, challenges persist. One notable challenge is the disparity in network coverage between 5G and its predecessor, #4G. While 4G networks offer denser coverage, providing more reliable connections, 5G networks often struggle to maintain consistent coverage, leading to frequent fallbacks to 4G connections. Moreover, the deployment costs associated with 5G technology translate into higher expenses for consumers, making 5G plans inherently more expensive than their 4G counterparts. Additionally, the #transition to 5G has implications for #smartphone battery life, with 5G connectivity known to drain battery power more rapidly than 4G #LTE. Despite these challenges, the promise of 5G Advanced deployment offers hope for improvements in speed, energy efficiency, and overall performance. As we reflect on five years of 5G, it's essential to consider its impact on everyday users. Have you noticed a significant difference in speed between 4G and 5G? Share your thoughts and experiences as we continue to #navigate the evolving #landscape of telecommunications technology.
