I received that question several times, so I figured I would answer it with this short blog.
Why would an airport, factory, plants or warehouse IT manager change their Wi-Fi network
and install a Private 5G SA network?
Allow me to explain why 5G SA has created such a buzz and will be so big:
Continue reading “Why is Private 5G better than Wi-Fi in Airports, Factories, Plants, or Warehouses?”If your organization plans a private indoor/outdoor wireless deployment in the U.S., make sure you consider the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum. Deloitte predicts that hundreds of thousands of companies in retail, healthcare, education, utilities, manufacturing, and transportation will deploy private 5G networks over the next ten years.
Continue reading “CBRS for Private 4G/5G – Indoor & Outdoor!”I recently was asked to talk about the future of mining from a network perspective. Here is what I answered. Do you agree? Do you have other thoughts?
The future looks bright for mining. Many commodities are on the rise, and new creative finance instruments are emerging so as joint ventures and social development contracts like what O&G does with Local NOC’s (National oil companies) and indigenous communities. Mining is well-positioned against other industries in the quest for zero-emission.

The question about Industry going to LTE is not about why, but when. The question of the day for industrial C-level, Business Unit Lead, and Investors is not about when to start going LTE, but choosing to start with a public LTE offering or jump-in and built its Private LTE infrastructures from the start, where it makes sense. Industry needs to go LTE.
Like many, you have likely been following CBRS, but have yet to dip your toes in the water. You are wondering about the CBRS spectrum, how it works, and the different use cases for this new spectrum gift from the FCC. You may also be confused by the different marketing messaging.

Now it is Vodafone’s turn up its first O-RAN site!
OpenRan (O-RAN) is a new way to design, built, deliver, and operate LTE infrastructure networks. Today the LTE infrastructures installed that we are all using, regardless of the service provider, are made of standard base main components, and most often service providers will side with one or perhaps two radio suppliers. However, some service providers elected to build their LTE network by using Vendor-A EPC (Evolved Packet Core) {the main brain managing connections}, Vendor-B RAN (Radio Access Network) [the radio units on the tower] and their infrastructure deliver the same services.

A new IET report has confirmed that 5G is very similar to existing mobile technologies in terms of radio wave exposure and pulsed signals, and will be held to the same safety standards as 4G, 3G, and the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM).
Continue reading “5G Vs 4G Radiation Safety”Very good article from Moor. The wireless carrier or MNO space is changing. And, with the Open Ran movement there is certainly indications of changes ahead! The big boys are taking hits!
