Mobile operators are moving to all-IP networking and correspondingly delivering LTE communication services, such as Voice and Video over LTE (VoLTE and ViLTE). The benefits of this transformation are clear – for the consumer they promise faster, cheaper and better quality voice and video services...

We’ve asked the more than 65 operators, vendors and hubs from six different continents to share exactly what it is they think will need to happen to kick-start the road to 5G, and found out from industry leaders what they think the 5G world will really look like.

How about a 5G-Ready connected flowerpot? Yes, over the next four years 5G will emerge as a superior Radio Access Technology. Though we are just at the beginning of the standardization process (namely the 3GPP R14 SMARTER study item) consensus is growing that through virtualization and network s...
5G promises exponentially faster speeds, higher capacity, lower latency and more throughput than today’s networks. It will use existing LTE standards and technology as its foundation, but will incorporate a new air interface at a higher frequency band (greater than 6GHz) to deliver throughput spe...

When we talk about 5G, there is one phrase that everyone agrees and likes to say – 5G will not only enhance speeds, but also have every thing ‘connected’ and every industry ‘converged’. What underlies all of this 'keeping every thing connected' is IoT while what keeps industries converged is arti...
In this article I will be wrapping up different visions around the industry and try to find answers to whether what 5G will deliver has become too utopian or not.
The introduction of 5G will accelerate digital transformation in many industry verticals, enabling new use cases in areas like big data, connected cars, smart homes, smart cities, and automation, etc
With '5G' (whatever that is) likely more than 5 years away (if it happens) this could be a good time to point out that high-performance, low-latency, low cost wireless is already here and it's called Wi-Fi. So why wait for 5G to happen?
Industrial automation increasingly needs good wireless connectivity for robots, sensors and other systems. Mobile operators and telcos are poorly-suited to providing it, especially in-building or site-wide. Regulators need to focus on more shared spectrum, to allow other stakeholders to build/own...
On December 7th, "5G Network Technologies Workshop", co-hosted by 5G Forum and SDN/NFV Forum, was held in Novotel Ambassador Kangnam Hotel in Seoul, Korea. At the workshop, panels including Jinhyo Park (Head of Network Technology R&D Center at SK Telecom), Eun Kyung Paik (SVP at KT) and Kyung In...
