As the largest technology platform in the world, mobile connectivity has changed the way we work, the way we live and the way we connect with each other.
−Removed: The scale and pace of innovation in mobile technology, especially around connectivity and computing capabilities, is also impacting industries beyond traditional wireless.
−Removed: We are working with leading global service providers and enterprises in the mobile and 5G fixed wireless access (“FWA”) ecosystems to further develop, commercialize and accelerate the availability of 5G-based solutions, which represent the next generation of mobile technology.
−Removed: 5G enables intelligent connectivity and is a catalyst for innovation and acceleration of the fourth industrial revolution across a wide range of vertical markets, including manufacturing, agriculture, utilities, industrial automation, retail, education, government, and healthcare.
−Removed: 5G addresses the constraints of 4G LTE technology with wider spectrum bandwidths, multi-gigabit speeds, and ultra-reliable low latency, in addition to other advancements.
−Removed: As the fifth-generation wireless broadband technology, 5G is based on the Release 15 standard defined by the Generation Partnership Project (“3GPP”), an international consortium responsible for the development of mobile standards.
−Removed: The key operating ranges for the 5G spectrum globally are in the sub-6 GHz (below 6 GHz), and millimeter wave (28 GHz and 39 GHz) bands, with speed offerings greater than 1 Gigabit (“Gb”) per second and sub-millisecond latency, providing better coverage and signaling efficiency.
−Removed: The technological advancements of 5G technology, combined with many of the innovations developed for 4G LTE, provide a scalable and adaptable solution for a variety of use cases, which enable the creation of new industries and services, such as autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, live ultra-high-definition video streaming, cloud gaming, edge computing, and countless industrial applications such as augmented reality and robotics for smart manufacturing.
−Removed: The development of these new services and applications results in a growing demand for high-speed data, increased capacity, and low latency requirements which are key factors contributing to the accelerated growth and roll-out of 5G networks.
−Removed: 4G LTE is expected to continue to operate alongside 5G as a major part of the wireless ecosystem.
−Removed: Based on industry reports, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (“GSMA”) Intelligence’s report The Mobile Economy , and the biannual Ericsson Mobility Report we believe that 4G and 5G networks will coexist and remain complementary for many years.
−Removed: This means that operators will be able to service a significant share of the data traffic on 4G networks, leaving 5G with the dual remit of absorbing overflow capacity and underpinning consumer and enterprise services that require higher speeds and/or lower latency.
−Removed: As such, most 5G devices are expected to include multimode support for 4G and Wi-Fi, enabling service continuity where 5G has yet to be deployed and simultaneous connectivity across 4G and Wi-Fi
−Removed: technologies, while also allowing mobile operators to utilize current 5G network deployments.
