Mobile and Wireless Communications

The fifth generation of wireless technology (5G) has arrived and is being rolled out globally. 5G is possible because of the contributions of previous generations of wireless communications and a number of disruptive technologies, each of which must be understood at least at a high level to paint a full picture of the industry. This report centers ...

A private cellular network—what the 3GPP standards refer to as a “non-public network”—is an isolated network which restricts the devices that connect to it. Public cellular networks initially carried primarily voice traffic, but data traffic now dominates these networks. This includes internet access and an ever-increasing percentage of vid...

The first generation of wireless communication technology (1G) was introduced when NTT launched the first commercial cellular network in Tokyo in 1979. Successive generations have followed approximately every 10 years. Analog voice was the primary 1G service; 2G brought digital voice and introduced data services with text messages. Internet access ...

Deployment of next-generation technologies will result in increased adoption of data-intensive applications. To handle the unprecedented growth in traffic and to ensure enhanced user experience, telcos need to invest in network modernization and expansion. The networks are under a lot of pressure and living up to customers' expectations with qualit...

The public safety community, after the careful consideration of stakeholders around the world, has selected LTE as the preferred access technology for digital services. However, first responders will also rely on 3G and 2G for voice, data, and M2M until such time as 3GPP LTE standards include advanced voice and other mission-critical features. Cove...
