Where 5G is concerned, antennas can no longer be taken for granted. Directionality, latency, increased transmission rate, antenna size, higher frequencies, and shorter wavelengths are on the list of what’s unique regarding 5G antennas. In fact, antenna design relies on the form factors of end devices and the preferences of the OEM. So, what should
Recently, we discussed the downsides to 5G in supply chains, but let’s now explore its potential positive impacts. Supply chains are experiencing a lot of technology-based changes over the past few years and the roll-out of 5G promises to deliver multiple benefits to an industry in waiting. Expectations are that robotics, drones and IoT usage
While 5G will deliver high efficiency, there will also be challenges for those implementing it, from the sheer volume of data to a disconnect in the available infrastructure to support it. 3G and 4G implementation was far from painless. Expect similar woes with 5G supply chain implementation. Of major concern is that you can’t just
The beefing up of security for the 5G products supply chain has sparked an investigation by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS). Spurred by concerns over such companies as ZTE and Huawei spying on U.S. telecommunications networks, ATIS seems to be one of several entities taking on the task. Last year, for example, President
Will 5G really create more jobs? Industry experts say “yes.” And if you’re currently an engineer studying telecommunications or enmeshed in the field, it might be time to consider the impact 5G will have on the future of employment. How much of an impact 5G will have on industries as a whole is widely debated.
