The cloud, robotics, automation, and digital technologies are indispensablefor efficient, adaptable, and dynamic business operations. Artificial intelligence and 5G have evolved to become two of the most revolutionary technologies of the decade. While 5G and AI are capable ofindependently revolutionizing industries and facilitating future experiences, combining the two will be ground-breaking.

The combination of AI with 5G mobile technology has the potential to transform business and society, paving the wayfor new products and services that were previouslyunimaginable.So, let’s check out how AI and 5G can revamp and upgrade businesses.

AI with 5G: Making Network and Devices Better

Using AI on 5G networks and devices will enhance wireless communication and battery, and most importantly, improve the user experience. With the help of machine learning, you can now focus on major wireless issues that are tough to tackle with traditional methods.

The wireless industry has been talking about the ways in which AI can improve 5G networks.AI will significantly impactthe fundamental aspects of 5G network management, including efficiency, deployment, service quality, and security.

One of the less-discussed aspects is how on-device AI will enhance the 5G end-to-end system. Radio frequency awareness (RFA) is at the center of 5G improvements and AI's involvement in the process.Instead of a hand-crafted algorithm, machine learning can decipher the device's RF signals. Improved radio awareness increases device experience, system performance, and radio security.


Embracing 5G for Future Telecom & Business Operations

The fifth generation of mobile technology comes with many use cases that are enough to completely transform almost every industry. As the world gets ready for a substantial transformation, it's important to know what they are and how they can help your business. Presently, 5G is driving three significant global trends.

  • 5G technology will alter connected devices by driving consumer adoption, making them smarter, and making large-scale device integration easier.
  • Cloud and edge computing depend on accessibility, and 5G will make cloud and edge computing more powerful and accessible than ever before.
  • As 5G allows algorithms to be much more efficient at collecting and analyzing data at scale, AI becomes more accessible and fundamental for businesses powered by 5G. This can be considered a scientific and ethical endeavor.


PartingThoughts

Like any new technology, there is indeed a lot of hype around 5G's debut. 5G and AI are two synergistic, necessary components driving future advancements. Those whocombine these technologies will have a competitive edge and the opportunity to build future forward brands.Businesses that adopt 5G will not only witness revenue gain but will also emerge as an influential player in the future.

Ericsson researchers top 4.3Gbps downlink on 5G millimeter wave

Article | June 9, 2022

With a technical specification comprising 8 component carriers (8CC) aggregating 800MHz of millimeter wave spectrum, Ericsson engineers achieved delivery rates of 4.3Gbps – the fastest 5G speed to date. Ericsson Radio System Street Macro 6701 delivered data with downlink speeds of 4.3Gbps over-the-air to an industry partner test device during interoperability testing. The commercial solution, including network and terminal support, will be available to 5G consumers during 2020.

Intelligence Brief: How is 5G changing network ownership?

Article | November 25, 2021

5G necessitates a different network strategy. Unlike previous generations, 5G deployment is not only about adding more sites and increasing backhaul capacity. In fact, it is more about rethinking the whole network architecture to make it agile. The high capacity requirements of 5G will necessitate the use of small cells in cities and areas of high footfall (such as airports) to complement national macro networks. Private networks (for example to sell into enterprise customers) and the concept of a neutral host (such as for sports stadiums) are further examples of diversification.

5G Needs Edge Computing to Deliver on Its Promises

Article | February 11, 2020

Edge computing will be a key enabler for 5G to deliver on its bandwidth and latency requirements. In the short term, it can enable developers to provide a “5G experience” at scale. In the long term, it will be necessary to optimise customer experience for real-time, data hungry applications. Telecoms operators have reported that 5G in the lab can deliver network speeds that are more than twenty times faster than LTE1. But, this does not reflect the experience of the average user. And 5G roll out in many countries will be limited in terms of coverage and capabilities for several more years, given that the ultra-low latency standards will only be revealed in 3GPP’s Release 16 later this year. This is why it is likely that, for 5G to deliver on its promises, it must be coupled with edge computing.

Pivotal Commware Launches Next-Gen Pivot 5G Repeater for Enhanced Connectivity

Pivotal Commware | February 20, 2023

Pivotal Commware, the leading provider of 5G mmWave infrastructure products for the wireless edge, recently introduced its next-generation Pivot 5G network repeater with 4x the power for increased range, optical extension, and other significant enhancements. The second-generation Pivot combines a narrower beamwidth on the Donor unit with an increase in gain and a 7dB power boost on the Service Unit. The outcome is a system that can achieve Gigabit service at least 3,000 feet away from the gNB or 50 percent further. These improved capabilities enable mobile network operators (MNOs) to broaden the service area while significantly mitigating the impact of vegetation. The range and utility of the repeater can be significantly expanded with the optical interface kit. This feature enables a Pivot donor unit to provide fiber optic cable for up to four service units. This can eliminate the need for line of sight at each outdoor installation location, allowing for more robust deployments with fewer systems. Additionally, fiber optics facilitates outdoor-to-indoor installations and huge indoor venues, such as stadiums and other areas traditionally served by DAS. Steve Ostroff, Technical Product Manager at Pivotal Commware, shared, "The new Pivot provides ultra-low latency allowing a transparent integration into the network. Its low total power consumption helps streamline permitting operations. But it has more RF power, versatility, and intelligence," He added, "Our newest Pivot also offers enhanced network health monitoring, and a tighter beam profile to the gNB, reducing potential network interference." (Source – Business Wire) Additionally, the new Pivot is easier and quicker to install. The new design features lesser cables and installation at the pole without using tools. The company will exhibit its next-generation Pivot 5G repeater from February 27 to March 2 at the 2023 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Hall 2, Stand 2D15. About Pivotal Commware Pivotal Commware is a company that specializes in the development of software-defined antennas and radios that use proprietary Holographic Beam Forming™ technology to increase network speed, capacity, and spectral efficiency. The company's products are designed to address the most challenging aspects of millimeter wave technology, and it created the world's first product ecosystem dedicated to solving these issues. Its reconfigurable beams are designed to follow mobile users in real-time, offering network operators the lowest cost, size, weight, and power consumption (C-SWaP) envelope available. The company provides network operators with the tools they need to increase network performance and meet the demands of today's data-driven world.
