The technology has significantly evolved in various industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, and construction, in terms of enhanced safety measures, connectivity, cost reduction, and convenience of users. The process of the evolution of communication networks has proven to be an essential part of the network technology ecosystem.

The changing paradigm of the consumer as well as enterprise market, requirement of higher bandwidth, increasing data traffic across industries, coupled with congestion in networks, are some of the factors substantiating the need for network evolution. This leads to the advent of the 5G networks in order to cater to the growing needs for speed, reliability, and low latency.

The harmonized spectrum allocation, coupled with the device availability, is one of the pressing matters to be looked upon in the current scenario. Harmonized allocation of frequencies provides an added advantage since it reduces radio interference across borders and facilitates interoperability and international roaming, among others.

The major field trial activities by the telecom operators, has been undergoing in various parts of the world to stay ahead in the 5G race. For instance, countries such as China, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, India, the U.A.E., Qatar, and some European countries have been ahead in the trial sites to begin with the 5g rollout.

To explore the present scenario of evolving wireless technologies, 5G trials, use cases and spectrum allocation, among others; join the industry experts at the emerging tech webinar, “5G Vision 2025: Unlocking Strategies for Stakeholders” on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 10:30 AM PDT.
