To foster maximum coverage and reliable connections, 5G networks operate on frequencies that fall within three key ranges of the mobile spectrum: Sub-1GHz, 1–6GHz, and above 6GHz.

The Sub-1GHz range supports large-scale IoT services, and offers widespread coverage across urban, suburban and rural areas. The 1–6GHz range, and specifically spectrum that lies between 3.3 and 3.8GHz, offers exciting coverage and capacity benefits, and is expected to provide the basis for initial 5G services.

Finally, the above 6GHz range is particularly important for fostering the ultra-high broadband speeds that come with 5G.

Small cells are essentially low-power, short-range mobile base stations designed to offer coverage for small geographical areas or indoor/outdoor applications.

They combine all the basic functionality of conventional base stations into a package that can be mounted unobtrusively to buildings or fixtures.

They’re also capable of handling high data rates, and they’re sure to play an important role in spreading high-speed mobile broadband.

Small cells are divided into three categories based on the amount of coverage and users they support. Femtocells are miniature base stations that can provide cellular service for homes and small enterprises.

Pico cells offer a level of coverage that’s suitable for large office buildings and similar environments, while microcells are ideal for locations with a large number of users, like dense urban areas.

Beamforming is a technique that enables an array of antennas to be focused in the same direction to produce a strong, concentrated signal. This technology is important for 5G deployment because it enables more efficient data transmission.

Beamforming ensures that signals are directed only where they’re needed – rather than broadcasted in all directions – and enables mmWave (millimeter-wave) frequencies to cover more distance with less interference from other signals. The more antennas in the array, the narrower the beam, and the more concentrated the signal will be.

Massive MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) technology works by grouping antennas together in a way that allows multiple data signals to be transmitted and received simultaneously, over the same wireless channel. For users, that means greater spectrum efficiency and better throughput.

One of the current limitations of 4G MIMO technology is that it utilizes one-dimensional antenna arrangements that restrict beamforming to the horizontal plane. 5G Massive MIMO addresses this issue by utilizing two-dimensional antenna arrays that offer coverage both horizontally and vertically, and allow more users to connect simultaneously.

With 4G, data services such as over-the-top (OTT) media streaming, browsing the web and GPS navigation are facilitated through the same pipeline. This makes it impossible for carriers to distinguish between these services, and means that quality of service (QoS) cannot be guaranteed.

5G network slicing technology addresses this issue by letting carriers create virtual data pipelines within a network’s architecture that are dedicated to each individual service.

Network slicing not only maximizes 5G networks’ flexibility and opens the door for the implementation of more dynamic services, it also enables QoS to be assured for each and every service, and helps ensure the quality of time-sensitive, mission-critical services like connected cars.

Service providers transitioning from 4G to 5G can choose to deploy their new network using either an NSA (non-standalone) or SA (standalone) architecture.

Opting for an NSA architecture would enable a carrier to utilize its existing LTE network’s assets as a base for rolling out 5G coverage. A SA architecture, on the other hand, would be purpose-built for 5G utilization and not dependent upon an existing 4G network. While the first wave of 5G deployments will likely be NSA networks, once coverage has been established, standalone networks that unlock 5G’s true power will begin to roll out and start powering incredible services and experiences.

For 5G deployment, the mobile network design perspective is changing. Networks are evolving to deliver the levels of bandwidth, latency, and efficiency needed for IoT, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and more.

Servers also need to process the massive amounts of data produced in the 5G era more quickly for businesses and individuals. To achieve this, the server framework also needs to be configured in a cost-effective and flexible way, optimized for both traditional and hybrid cloud applications.
