5G technology: Will it be the next disruption to the IT world?

5G technology: Will it be the next disruption to the IT world?

It is estimated that with 5G technology, by 2025 there will be some 8 million autonomous vehicles circulating on the world’s roads, 31 billion connected objects and over 88 Smart Cities. And 5G is one of the technological pillars on which these predictions are based.     Irruption and disruption of 5G networks In the future we’ll be talking about Gbps where now we speak of Mbps....

A review of the physical principles behind the Wi-Fi /5G wireless revolution

A review of the physical principles behind the Wi-Fi /5G wireless revolution

Following on from a previous article on DSL and its scientific bases, I now want to review the fundamentals of another technology: radio. As with a DSL, the ability to transmit data in any radio communications system – from the very first Marconi experiments to 5G networks – is bound by Shannon’s equation, based on the channel’s bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. In radio, we also have another...

Mobile networks. From 4G to 5G in 2020

Mobile networks. From 4G to 5G in 2020

Fifth generation mobile networks or 5G networks, are currently being developed and tested by several carriers with a view to commercial deployment in 2020. In comparison to its predecessor, 4G and variants, 5G’s main objectives are to offer: • High effective speeds (>1 Gbps) • Low latency (1 ms or less) • High density of connected devices • Minimum power requirements for IoT, sensors, remote...

5G: the expansion of small cells

5G: the expansion of small cells

Future deployments of 5G mobile telephone networks will bring large-scale small-cell roll-outs. A small cell is nothing more than a miniature base station, or low-powered mobile telephone node, that improves a network’s spectral efficiency by allowing the same frequencies to be reused within a geographic area thanks to its limited range (10 meters to a few kilometers). The desire to improve...

5G, Artificial Intelligence, SD and more!

We are approaching the end of Q1 in 2018 and for various reasons across the world, I believe that in the coming days many of our readers will probably be taking a short break. Whether it’s because of traditional festive holidays that are coming up in many parts of the world or because of the change in the seasons. So, this is a great moment to pause and think how 2018 has progressed so far. I...
