Mobile Experts Releases End-To-End View Of 5G mm-wave

Analysis of link budget challenges and solutions, with a five-year forecast

Campbell, CA /PRNewswire/ -- The time for millimeter wave has arrived. Mobile Experts just released a comprehensive, end-to-end view of 5G mm-wave with forecast analysis through 2025.

This report includes cost analysis for both base station and handset, link budget analysis, technical analysis of how the OEMs can fix the link budget problems, and analysis of FWA and mobile network architectures including IAB, repeaters, and other options.

This year, because high-volume production is underway, Mobile Experts has added market share tracking for millimeter wave radio units (RUs).

"The driving force behind 5G mm-wave is fairly simple," commented Chief Analyst Joe Madden. "It's the need for more capacity. People are pushing the limits of the mobile network, so key operators are on the verge of hitting their maximum density in the sub-6 GHz network."

Recently, Mobile Experts calculated the maximum capacity possible in a major USA network, using all possible bands below 6 GHz. Their most recent calculation shows that major American networks will hit 100% of sub-6GHz capacity in key cities by 2023. Using this method, Mobile Experts correctly predicted the 2020 boost in deployment announced on February 13 by Verizon.

The report describes how each vendor is taking a different strategy with the massive MIMO array and supporting semiconductors. Solutions will arise for improving radio performance and efficiency, and developments are impending for indoor, outdoor, urban, and suburban scenarios.

"5G mm-wave smartphones will become the primary choice for Verizon in 2020," said Chief Analyst Joe Madden. "We expect the operators to begin subsidizing mm-wave phones this year in order to move their users off the impacted sub-6 GHz bands. Accordingly, we will see a rapid rise in the sale of 5G infrastructure, handsets, laptops, and CPEs".
