Abstract :

5G is a new generation of high-capacity wireless technology intended to serve fixed broadband and high-throughput mobile broadband use cases. With peak speeds exceeding 1 Gbps and latencies in the order of 1 ms, 5G will complement rather than replace previous generations of wireless technology with fiber-speed performance. The panelist has evaluated 5G economics for both residential and enterprise use cases. These assessments have concluded that 5G can be a cost-effective broadband alternative for operators to satisfy growing bandwidth demand among residential and business users. Recent 5G engagements include: 5G residential fixed wireless accesses (FWA) investment case for tier-1 MNO; enterprise 5G strategies and economics for tier-1 MNO hybrid 28 GHz/3.5 GHz investment case for an international operator 3.5 GHz rural fixed access deployment for a tier 1 MNO and IoT, eMBB and FWA strategy and investment case for an overseas operator.
