The emerging 5G ecosystem: key market drivers, challenges, technologies, use cases, vertical market applications, and more.
For the stakes of
productivity, flexibility and performance, without forget the growing taste and
demand for mobile video, wireless networks undergo an
unmatched pressure to support inter alia: the throughput, latency, and
scalability requirements of future use cases such as extreme bandwidth
augmented reality applications and connectivity management.
Across the world, one can observe that, 3G, 4G, LTE and LTE-Advanced
deployments are still underway, to meet this pressing demand.
5G is billed as a revolutionary paradigm shift in wireless networking. Some
of the collectively accepted attributes of the technology include new air
interface transmission schemes, new spectrum bands, spectrum aggregation,
Massive MIMO, beamforming, D2D (Device to Device) communications and
self-backhauling, among others.
According to the latest report from Research and Markets, R&D and trial
network investments based on 5G wireless technology are expected to reach $5
Billion annually by 2020.
The report presents an in-depth assessment of the emerging 5G ecosystem
including key market drivers, challenges, enabling technologies, use cases,
vertical market applications, spectrum bands, wireless carrier deployment
commitments and vendor strategies. Forecasts for both 5G investments and subscriptions
are also available.
Key
Findings:
- Nearly 70% of these investments will target large scale commercial trial networks in Japan, South Korea and other early pioneering countries
- Despite a lack of standardization, vendors are aggressively investing in 5G development efforts with a principal focus on new transmission schemes, antenna technologies, and higher frequency bands
- 5G networks are expected to utilize a variety of spectrum bands, ranging from established cellular bands to millimeter wave frequencies
- 5G standardization activities are expected to commence between 2015 and 2016
