IN-BUILDING NETWORK EVOLUTION: FROM 4G TO 5G

whitePaper | August 1, 2021

Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications, and massive machine-type communication (mMTC) are well understood and highly anticipated 5G use cases. The big challenge for network operators is how to support these use cases, and more, on the same network. Much of the buzz to date has centered on 5G-NR (new radio), virtualized core, and mm-Wave spectrum. Receiving far less attention, but equally important as the new radio interface, is the evolution of the transport network that connects 5G nodes to enable the key 5G use cases—simultaneously.

U.S. operators will spend more than $250 billion to deploy 5G wireless networks from 2020 to 2025. The recent C-band (5G spectrum) auction where four operators accounted for $79 billion of the $81 billion raised increased 5G costs by an additional 40%. The top U.S. operators (Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) will complete the majority of their 5G deployments over the next five years. As they continue to expand their 5G coverage and capacity, a key concern is how to recoup their 5G investments while minimizing deployment costs.

Technology is advancing rapidly, transforming many aspects of society, including how we communicate, navigate, and treat diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as there are more electronics than ever to run accurate diagnostics, more sensors to increase autonomy, and better connectivity to avoid interference. Plus, the miniaturization of semiconductor components and advancement in electronic display technologies enables consumer electronic (CE) devices to become compact.
