Slightly delayed, but this is a write up I did of the October #SpectrumAmericas event, hosted by Spectrum for the Future, an advisory client of mine. (Click through to download the PDF from the site). Obviously since that date, the US Elections have taken place, and the new incoming administration is intending to make Brendan Carr the head of the Federal Communications Commission. While Carr seemed keen to renew the FCC's auction authority over the supply of spectrum, he may well wish to scutinise the demand side more carefully. It is now clear that mobile data demand growth is slowing down, including in the US, where even Ericsson's optimistic, XR-fuelled forecasts have been lowered, at 16% CAGR for smartphones. Even if you take those figures - or CTIA's - at face value, it is increasingly apparent that demand is highly localised, rather than evenly spread over wide areas. A great deal of #5G use is indoors, in particular, which increasingly needs dedicated indoor systems - something that Verizon and other carriers have been pushing hard for recently. In addition, there is no urgent need for spectrum driven by future #6G, which is likely to appear later rather than sooner (maybe 2032) and may well again be concentrated in specific high-density areas and supported by satellite access. Hopefully, the FCC will shift from its analogy of a "spectrum pipeline" to a more precise and targeted "spectrum sprinkler" that can irrigate the exact times and places than need watering with new frequencies. https://lnkd.in/eHmbpAky

Today on 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗕𝗖'𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵, we would like to feature an article published on Ericsson on the potential of 5G and how it can make our life easier. According to Ericsson, 5G is the next generation of cellular network boasting speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, unlocks a future filled with opportunity. This game-changing technology offers blazing-fast connectivity, ultra-low latency, and immense bandwidth, propelling advancements in society, industries, and our daily lives. From the once-futuristic concepts of e-health to connected vehicles and traffic systems, 5G brings them to reality. This video by Ericsson further explains how 5G has the potential to pave the way for a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world through secure real-time information sharing between vehicles and traffic lights, optimizing traffic flow for both safety and reduced carbon emissions, all powered by a virtualized cloud core that opens doors for AI-based automation and intelligent networks.

🚀🚀🚀 Hello everyone attending WiFi NOW's World Congress in #Geneva... Be sure and catch Chris Carr from Extreme Networks on stage at 11:40 on Wednesday, presenting "𝑵𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝑭 𝒎𝒂𝒑𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍-𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒂" - Maps have been indispensable for centuries, guiding explorers and shaping our understanding of the world—from ancient cartographers to the Age of Discovery. Today, maps continue to transform complex information into actionable insights. Similarly, RF maps serve as crucial "navigation charts" for wireless network management, offering insights into coverage, signal strengths, interference, and network health. And now, with increasing availability of data from client devices, there are new opportunities to offer a more detailed and real-time perspective of the RF environment for even greater network reliability and performance.

As once been told by Bruce Hubbert, relying on client telemetry is like having someone on the ground reporting, rather than hovering in a helicopter trying to figure out what’s happening. Client telemetry, like that offered by #IntelConnectivityAnalytics, is essential for wireless network management, providing insights into coverage, signal strength, interference, and overall network health.

This is not the first time in history that the value of a new spectrum has been underestimated or overlooked. Twenty years ago, prime spectrum was below 2GHz, favored for its penetration capabilities and coverage. Anything higher was considered less beneficial. However, with the advent of technologies like Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and Massive MIMO, the landscape changed. Today, mmWave is at a critical juncture where emerging technologies and innovative applications are poised to unlock its full potential, making it an invaluable asset for Mobile Network Operators to meet the ever-growing demand for faster, more reliable connectivity

One TRILLION dollars. That's the projected amount invested on 5G technology by mobile network operators between 2018-2025 (source: McKinsey). The jury is still out on whether the return on this investment has exceeded expectations. But there's no respite in store, because 6G wireless is now a mere 48 months from initial commercial deployments, based on South Korea's K-Network 2030 plan. Is the industry ready for another trillion dollar investment cycle to build out 6G? I strongly believe the answer is 'no'. We must do more with less, and that starts by bolting completely new applications underpinned by AI onto the existing 5G infrastructure available today. Join Tiami Networks at Mobile World Congress in Las Vegas this October as we demonstrate integrated sensing for tagless and camera-free asset tracking. #mwc #6G

Very insightful Dean Bubley. Jennifer Manner, how can we get associated to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) spectrum sharing “moonshot”?
