One thing that the tech industry needs is more backhaul. It’s more than just connecting homes. It’s making each location as efficient as possible. While business and enterprise need more backhaul, how do they get it? We all need fiber,

I have to tell you. I have been speaking to so many people about 5G. It seems that the front-runners are AT&T and……….. Sprint! That’s right. AT&T is no surprise because they are always on the front bleeding edge of technology along with Verizon.

  Yes, obviously and I will tell you why. However, many people say that the auto industry needs 5G. Here is something I read about all the time. The fact that everyone says we need, I mean absolutely need 5G for vehicles. I’ll let you in on a secret,

Carrier Aggregation and Private LTE Hey, guess what? Remember when I talked about LAA, LTE-U, and CBRS, well, we’re almost there! That’s right, all those add-ons that we talked about over a year ago may finally be released.

  What is Massive MIMO Beamforming? Let’s put them together, beamforming and massive MIMO, and we get massive MIMO beamforming. This combination of great ideas and technology allow us to go beyond what has been done in the past.

FYI – this is a partial report of the new collection of reports I am compiling for my new book, “The Road to 5G Deployment”. The 5G ecosystem seems endless, but we must look at all aspects. The NR is something that will have the true 5G format.

Antenna’s that can control their own beam shape, what?!? Control the beam on demand? How can that be? Beamforming is a little more complicated than that. First, a quick, high level, history lesson. I don’t know how familiar you are with antennas,

I often am tasked with putting a solution together for services to deploy systems. One thing that you learn by doing this is that many times there are things you can’t foresee. That’s the Art of Solutioning.

Technology does not get a day off. In fact, people rely on it more on their days off. Can you deny that you won’t be on the internet, posting pictures from your smartphone, or anything like that over your holiday break?
