The Potential of Networks Slicing in 5G

The deployment of private networks for manufacturing, industrial applications and a wide range of other uses is taking off with the emergence of 5G, initially using non-standalone but now also 5G SA.

As operators prepare to launch 5G services, it is evident that in order to effectively and efficiently deliver the utmost performance, 5G network build-outs need to be based on an architecture which is open, flexible and scalable - across all the network domains.

As 5G changes network architecture to deliver ultra-high capacity, availability, and coverage, network density will be vital, integrating 5G New Radio (NR) with small cells, remote radio heads, and Wi-Fi. To support this, mobile transport must undergo its own evolution to integrate macro/small cell backhaul, fronthaul, and even midhaul into a unified, dynamic, and flexible network environment. In this webinar, discover how mobile operators can transform their mobile transport networks to an X-haul architecture that supports the demands of dense and diverse radio deployments and delivers the performance capabilities required for future-looking services.

Sub-terahertz and terahertz (THz) waves, ranging from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, fall in the spectral region between microwave and optical waves. The prospect of enabling transfer rates in the terabit/sec range make them a key research area of 6G mobile communication. Sub-THz technologies require highly integrated frontends, including array antennas, that necessitate advanced over-the-air testing methods with a frequency range up to 300 GHz. To fully exploit the potential of this frequency range for future wireless communications, it is also crucial to understand the propagation characteristics by performing channel measurements.
