Preparation for 5G
Ericsson predicts that by 2023 every active smartphone in the US will consume 48 gigabytes of data per month. This is roughly seven times higher than in 2017. In global markets, this trend is the same, driven by improvements in our smartphones, increasingly data-heavy content, and better, more affordable data plans.
€4m project is under way to train next generation of 5G experts
A new generation of experts in 5G networks will be trained by the University of Huddersfield, which has been awarded funding of more than a million euros for its central role in a Europe-wide project involving ten academic and industrial partners. There will be a focus on embedding artificial intelligence into 5G systems, the use of drone-based technology to improve communications, and new 'beam-forming' antennae that will direct a separate ...
Step toward delivering broad 5G on low-band spectrum
T-Mobile, Qualcomm Technologies, and Ericsson, have achieved the world’s first known low-band 5G data session on a commercial 5G modem. The data session was conducted in T-Mobile’s lab in Bellevue, Washington on 600MHz, the same spectrum T-Mobile is using to roll out broad, nationwide 5G in the US, marking a major milestone in delivering 5G across America beyond urban areas.

A look at 5G mmWave-focused absorber technologies
To enable the large increase in wireless data transfer needed for the new 5G wireless standard, spectrum in the millimeter wave range will be needed. There is simply not enough available spectrum in the sub 6GHz range. The millimeter wave range is largely unregulated with wide chunks of available bandwidth making it ideal for data transfer applications. By Paul Dixon, Staff Scientist, Laird Technologies.
