The future of wireless services of all types is likely to involve more spectrum-sharing and other more sophisticated approaches to #spectrum assignment and management. This applies to #5G, #6G, #WiFi, #satellite, audiovisual and various classes of aviation and martime networks, as well as government and defence usage. Sharing will occur based on multiple dimensions - location, duration, directionality, power and obviously frequency. That, in turn, will require a range of key enablers, including technological components such as spectrum databases, sensing systems, better transceivers, mapping tools, cross-technology signalling and much more. There will also need to be streamlined regulatory processes, spectrum marketplaces, and a whole variety of use-cases for AI + spectrum. There will also be a need for more international cooperation and (hopefully) eventual harmonisation. The evolution of spectrum-sharing is a central theme for me at the moment, and something that regularly crops up in my discussions with regulators, operators, vendors and investors. I've written a guest article for my client CRFS (a spectrum-sensing vendor) which discusses this in more detail. https://lnkd.in/esxTh_Yf

5G has three primary use cases or features: URLLC, mMTC, and eMBB. eMBB provides higher data rates, better bandwidth, higher throughput, increased reliability, and lower latency than 4G. As 5G is being adopted worldwide, the impact of eMBB is about to grow substantially soon. Want to know more about 5G eMBB or Enhanced Mobile Broadband? Have a look at our new blogBlog post scheduled on Facebook & LinkedIn Topic ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gRn_gsm7 #5G #nybsys #eMBB #mMTC #URLLC #network

The FCC’s approval of Starlink’s direct-to-cell service with T-Mobile is significant. This partnership aims to provide cellular coverage in areas where traditional networks don’t reach, addressing long-standing issues with dead zones. It also strengthens emergency communication capabilities and improves network reliability, particularly in rural and remote locations. However, could this partnership potentially cannibalize some of Starlink’s revenue? Kathleen and I are both T-Mobile and Starlink customers. We are a “work from anywhere” couple and we use Starlink at our cabin in a remote part of Alaska because T-Mobile service doesn’t work there. With this new partnership, we might find we no longer need Starlink. The same could be true for boats, RVs, and other remote homes that currently rely on Starlink due to lack of coverage from traditional networks. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. #telecommunications #connectivity #motivation #success #mindset #growth #SolutionsAsAService

While today’s Wi-Fi technologies rely on radio frequencies, the future of wireless networks could be riding on terahertz (THz) radiation instead 💡 “THz radiation can penetrate non-metallic substances such as clothing, paper and plastic without the ionising dangers of X-rays,” explained Wen-Jun Ding, Senior Scientist at A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC). 🇸🇬 Ding is part of a Singapore-based research team developing compact, tuneable, and low-cost THz emitters—a vital component for the successful integration of the technology in devices like Wi-Fi routers. They devised an innovative solution that involves layering graphene over finely-grooved silicon surfaces and leveraging the Smith-Purcell effect, enabling the generation of THz radiation with minimal energy loss.

5G Spectrum The 5G spectrum is one of the most valuable and expensive assets for telecom operators, with investments running into millions of dollars for just a few megahertz of spectrum. Given the high stakes, choosing the right spectrum is critical for any telco's success. As we exhaust the lower frequency bands used in legacy technologies, 5G offers more flexibility with higher frequency ranges. There are two primary frequency ranges in 5G: 1. Frequency Range 1 (FR1): 450 MHz to 7 GHz These are lower frequency bands with smaller bandwidth chunks. For example, up to 45 MHz is available in the 900 MHz range. While mid-band options like the 3.5 GHz (N78 band) provide larger bandwidths. FR1 offers better coverage but comes with limitations on throughput and data rates. 2. Frequency Range 2 (FR2): 24 GHz to 52.6 GHz Known as millimeter wave (mmWave), FR2 offers much larger bandwidth chunks, around 3,000 MHz per category, enabling significantly higher data speeds. However, the trade-off is reduced coverage compared to lower bands, making FR2 ideal for high-capacity but smaller coverage areas. The Trade-Off: Coverage vs. Capacity Lower frequencies (FR1) provide broader coverage but with lower data rates, while higher frequencies (FR2) offer higher capacity and throughput but cover smaller areas. To optimize both, telcos need a balanced mix of low, mid and high-frequency bands to provide strong coverage alongside the capacity to handle high data demands. When planning 5G spectrum, it’s important to consider the different standards, bands, and bandwidth chunks available. Tables showing these details are crucial for effective spectrum planning, helping operators make informed decisions about their network strategy. 👉 To master 5G technology, visit - https://lnkd.in/eSYuK9V7 #telecom #technology #learning #platform #itelcotech #academia
