5G Private Networks: How maximising spectral efficiency can reduce infrastructure costs by a third and improve performance

Utility and energy is emerging as a key use case for private 4G and 5G networks, both on localized sites and across wide and rural areas. With power stations, energy grids, pipelines, wastewater plants and other utility and energy facilities a key part of national infrastructure, supporting mission-critical apps within this industry with reliable wireless infrastructure that can support increasing data demands and bandwidth requirements, will be essential.

5G has dominated the news as mobile network operators race to provide the fastest service in the most places. Every network provider wants to be the best in their market, but lately 5G claims in advertisements and news headlines have led to headaches for the operators. In this webinar, we'll discuss how you can accurately position your 5G network using claims backed by the industry's most trusted source for network data — while also building more trust with consumers.

Understanding 5G and its impact on fiber networks is essential as the next generation of wireless technology is deployed in the coming years. While 5G promises to help revolutionize Smart Cities, IoT, and autonomous vehicles, direct fiber connections to homes, businesses, and institutions will continue to grow. A dense blanket of 5G radios deployed outdoors, on buildings, and in buildings will be required to support 5G, and industry consensus is that fiber will connect most of these radios to the network. Learn how fiber networks can be designed and deployed to support FTTx, 4G, and 5G on a single fiber network platform, using new compact optical fiber cabling systems that help overcome the barriers to deploying fiber both to buildings and in buildings.
