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.

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.

The resources on this page include overviews and analysis of key technologies and background to the many initiatives forging the path to 5G.
