The 26 GHz band is capable of delivering fibre-like speeds with extremely low latency, but the high propagation loss poses a challenge to achieve wide area coverage compared to lower spectrum bands. This report proposes a hybrid licensing approach to achieve Ofcom’s objective of licensing this band as part of their commitment to the EU directive.
Property owners and tenants who are looking at ways of improving the mobile service in their building may be wondering where to start. Certainly the end result will differ according to the building, but, whether yours is an airport, an enterprise office, a shopping centre or a museum, some considerations apply to all buildings – and the most urgent consideration is to get unbiased, expert advice. And our new Guide is a great place to start.
The final report from the AutoAir Consortium is available to download. The project explores the concept of the hyper-dense neutral host network where a number of easy-to-deploy small cells are installed in close proximity to the road or trackside. The key findings and business case analyses for both road and rail are also laid out. Fill in your details to download the report.
In this exclusive case study, we provide an insight into how our modelling tools helped one regulator realistically calculate the cost of implementing its densification targets. September 2017
The UK’s three 2G networks, which have been operating since the 1990s, still provide voice and machine-to-machine (M2M) services to important segments of these markets. While voice user numbers are falling rapidly, M2M quantities are growing and include the national smart meter network, which is still being deployed. 2G voice and text services are typically used by the elderly, who want simple, non-touchscreen phones – so called ‘senior phones’ – and by tourists coming to the UK.
This study fills a major void in 5G research by forecasting the qualitative and quantitative socio-economic benefits of 5G. The study has been closely aligned with 5G-PPP activities and more than 150 experts have contributed to the research.
5G means new technology challenges and new rollout demands, not to mention new services, business models, products and partnerships. As we enter the last six months of the highly significant and influential 5G-PPP Phase 1 project 5G-NORMA, and begin our next 5G-PPP project, 5G-MoNArch, we reflect on progress towards 5G. July 2017
This project was conducted by Real Wireless on behalf of Ofcom in order to determine the role which existing and additional spectrum, notably a potential 700 MHz band, might play in meeting growing demand for wireless broadband capacity over the next 10 to 20 years. The role of additional spectrum is considered against the background of a wide range of other capacity-enhancing techniques – including LTE-Advanced and small cells – which the wireless industry is developing and which are expected to emerge over the study period.
