Cutting through the hype to uncover the real opportunities – and challenges – shaping 5G networks
Resources for 5G
Making sense of 5G
Real Wireless is at the heart of the evolution to 5G. We are advising governments and their agencies about the techno-economic models that must underpin the business case for future networks. We have deep technical knowledge of the densification strategies that are paving the path to 5G. We are leading advisors to Enterprise, helping to separate the hype from the very real opportunities associated with the new services and capabilities 5G technologies will deliver.
Real Wireless – supporting the monetisation of future networks.
We continue to play a leading role identifying the value propositions that drive the direction of technical specifications and the all-important business case that will be essential in generating investment for 5G development.This experience puts us in a unique position among wireless advisors. We have the vision, technical expertise and experience to see 5G in context and to assess, sometimes critically, official policy or industry claims. The resources on this page include overviews and analysis of key technologies and background to the many initiatives forging the path to 5G.
Can Satcoms at sea improve operations on land?
We write a lot about the needs of industry and how LTE, Wi-Fi, DAS and 5G, incorporated into a private network, could improve logistics and security and underpin just-in-time operations for airports, sea-ports, factories, stadiums, malls or local government. But what...

Regulation: progressive or obstructive?
Regulation of telecommunications is not, as some operators may feel, a chance to hold back progress. At least it shouldn’t be. Then again, there have been many examples that, if they became the norm, would genuinely give telecommunications regulation a bad name....

C-RAN – all still up in the air?
C-RAN seems to have been a long time coming. I first started exploring the potential of C-RAN back in 2007. Since then there’s been a great deal of industry talk and thousands of pages of standards describing dozens of C-RAN architectures. And I’m still waiting. Cloud...

LTE – (L)ife in (T)he old dog y(E)t
LTE rollout is by no means over – and yet the push to bring 5G to countries as diverse as South Korea and South Africa is very much under way. The reality of 5G deployment is different between these countries, but is the focus on 5G missing the point? With global...

Small cells and DAS: the balance is shifting
Small cells versus distributed antenna systems (DAS)? Is it really that stark a choice? Of course not. Both technologies have their advantages and disadvantages. But it is true to say that the balance has shifted slightly in recent years. Not long ago there would be...
