The #lack of #progress in #standalone #5G #deployments highlighted in the GSA May 2024 Market Snapshot Report is a point worth noting. Stalled #Standalone 5G -The report indicates that the number of operators with deployed standalone 5G networks hasn't increased since the end of 2023 (at 49). This suggests a #slowdown in the #rollout of the next-generation 5G technology. Expectations vs. Reality- Standalone 5G promises significant #improvements in network #performance, #efficiency, and #flexibility. The lack of progress could be due to various factors like technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, investment considerations, infrastructure limitations, or delays in developing applications that fully utilize standalone 5G capabilities. Additionally, the transition to standalone 5G networks requires substantial infrastructure upgrades and investments, which can be both costly and time-consuming for operators. Some operators might be in the process of deploying standalone 5G networks that haven't been publicly announced yet.

The #microwave industry has reached a consensus on the evolution direction of 5G/5.5G to ultra-broadband, simplified, multi-channel, is fully prepared for the new era Because #microwave #transmission is such a widely adopted technology, each evolutionary advance of the broader industry tends to spur further innovations in microwave in particular The needs of #5G & 5.5G spurred the development of wider, smarter microwave pipes; increasing scarcity of spectrum resources drove more spectral efficiency gains with microwave; the digital transformation of enterprises was met with new microwave solutions tailored to their needs; carriers' commitments to provide universal coverage prompted efforts to bring down the #TCO of microwave technology; with the emergence of new applications like ultra-broadband, multi-channel microwave, ultra-long-haul transmission, microwave again rose to the occasion with new #innovations in planning & delivery The larger bandwidth of 5G and 5.5G puts increasing the capacity of microwave backhaul high on the agenda. Demand for backhaul capacity could soon be tens of times higher than what it is now. Among all the microwave spectrum options, E-band is considered the sweet spot for 5G and 5.5G deployments, hence the importance of fully exploring its potential capacity. The increasing #density of microwave networks & paucity of #spectrum #resources necessitates the improvement of spectral efficiency In the current climate of global economic recovery, industry digital transformation is catalyzing a myriad of industrial applications of microwave transmission, such as in offshore wind power, disaster relief, power transmission. Microwave plays an important role in connecting industries & bringing network access to every part of society Universal coverage requirements imposed on carriers have driven innovation in the microwave transmission space. Those innovations are bringing down TCO through flexible modular design of products & solutions, lean deployments, simplified O&M. Long-haul microwave leverages new technologies such as high-gain beamforming (#HGBF) to bring down TCO The communications industry has evolved from Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (#PDH), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (#SDH), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (#ATM) to Internet Protocol (#IP), & #mobile #backhaul has likewise been changing from carrying only voice and data traffic to supporting the mobile Internet. In this process, ultra-broadband microwave has led to the emergence of new KPIs for future microwave planning The mass deployment of networks and introduction of new technologies such as multi-channel microwave & long-haul transmission inevitably result in complexities & challenges in planning, installation, O&M, optimization, but have also spurred the industry to develop new solutions for efficient microwave deployment & O&M Follow us on Kaneshwaran Govindasamy & Global 5G Evolution click comment box. #subscribe our #youtube channel #Huawei Huawei

I’ve written another piece on US #spectrum policy & #mobile bands - and what should be done in preparation for #WRC27 over the next 3 years. This is part of my ongoing focus on global spectrum-sharing policy, as well as my advisory work with SFTF. This time it has been published via Fierce Network. My view is that the US should directly engage with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) process at multiple levels, to push for greater understanding and technological innovation in sharing approaches. In particular the focus of IMT (ie #5G & #6G) spectrum should be on regulators assuming a “sharing-native” future in the 2030s, instead of the historic focus of assigning exclusive licences. This should be reflected in any figure IMT identifications & footnotes. In addition, it should be a core part of the various study groups and working parties’ efforts. There also needs to be far more realism about mobile traffic on the international stage - its flattening growth, the many non-credible forecasts, its localisation to specific areas & the impact of aspects such as FWA and indoor use. A critical aspect is dealing with the proposed IMT study bands for WRC-27, which seem “coincidentally” to be exactly the same as those used within NATO for military communications. At the moment, the US #CBRS band is one of the leading examples of dynamic spectrum sharing in practice. The work by NTIA & NSF is also advancing the technological base, including the role of AI. It should be advocating this work more globally, especially at ITU. But first, the mainstream US mobile industry needs to get onboard. #spectrumpolicy #telecompolicy #technology #regulation

Explore the "New Gigabit Infrastructure Act" at FOAN2024. FTTH infrastructure involves extensive civil work, new technologies, innovation, and social needs; all of these have a significant influence on the speed and cost of implementation of FTTH networks. One of the important, if not the most important, influences is regulation; therefore, the FOAN organizers invited Cristina Contero Almagro, partner at Aphaia, to explain what is happening in EU regulation. Cristina will talk about "The New Gigabit Infrastructure Act" that replaced the 10-year-old act. Cristina's talk will conclude the practical session on FTTH infrastructure.

New Research Report from O-RAN ALLIANCE nGRG RS01 stream was out recently. Its related to usecases and gap analysis of mmWave Antenna Distribution (mWAD). Happy to contribute in this research report. Its freely available at O-RAN Alliance website. https://lnkd.in/gppAQQqN >> In 6G networks it is expected the convergence of the physical and cyber worlds will accelerate, enabling the sharing of various experiences without the constraints of location. To realize this, an even greater data rate and lower latency communication will be required. For instance, the data rates needed for replicating real objects in virtual spaces for live sports, live music, or the metaverse demand 14-230 Gbps per object for uplink, while on the viewing side, 48-200 Gbps for downlink is necessary. These requirements exceed the capabilities of 5G. This report demonstrates how mWAD can contribute to realizing such a future and clearly identifies its challenges. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges associated with mWAD, introducing potential technologies and initiatives that could serve as solutions >> Jio
