5G Spectrum Sharing: A Network Economics

With the rise of 5G standalone deployments network operators face the challenge of serving a high-throughput, low-latency and cost-efficient user-plane between radio and internet. Adding full application and service-awareness via deep packet inspection is paramount for precise accounting and managing QoE of certain service-categories, policy enforcement, and rerouting.

Subscribers demand high-performance broadband connectivity at affordable prices – and they want service now. Service providers are deploying connectivity that meets SLAs and satisfy subscribers by extending the fiber core with fixed wireless. Learn how fixed wireless at 60 GHz offers multi-gigabit speeds that can be deployed in a matter of days, and how licensed CBRS solutions that meet NTIA BEAD requirements for reliable service provide connectivity at a fraction of the cost and time to deploy fiber all the way to the residence. The panel provides a view of the technology, economics and field experiences while identifying the sweet spot where hybrid fiber and wireless technology deliver the strongest impact.
