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 sector. The radio access network (RAN) makes up the largest portion of 5G network infrastructure because there are many RANs but relatively few core networks.
• The edge/core network is becoming more important as the number of 5G Stand-Alone (SA) networks is increasing.
• Most of the initial 5G networks were Non-Stand-Alone (NSA) and the move to 5G SA networks is happening slower than anticipated. While transport networks are often overlooked, the truth is that they are essential for the success of 5G.
• What are the growth opportunities with 5G RAN, 5G transport networks, and 5G edge/core networks?
