As the demand for mobile wireless services continues to rise, the telecom industry faces a significant challenge: spectrum scarcity. The spectrum, a limited and finite resource, is becoming increasingly crowded, making the transition from 4G to 5G particularly tricky. A pragmatic and sensible solution to this pressing problem is dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS). What is […]

Best Apps for Testing Signal and Locating Cell Towers
If you’re struggling with weak cellular signals or considering installing a signal booster, pinpointing your signal strength and finding nearby cell towers is crucial. Thankfully, several apps can help you measure your signal strength and locate cell towers, ensuring you get the best possible reception. Here’s a few apps we recommend for this purpose and […]
5G: How Does mmWave Compare to Sub-6GHz
5G networks come in two main forms. First, we have sub-6GHz, which is what most users are running off at this time. Second, we have mmWave, which is the super-fast 5G that is hard to find right now, but it’s capable of changing the future of technology. Before we break down some more details and […]
5G Frequency Band Information
With the growing 5G coverage and release of more 5G modems on the router market, we thought it would be nice to ring in the new year with some facts about 5G frequency bands. Low-band 5G operates between 600-850 MHz. This is similar to what 4G networks currently use and is only moderately faster than […]
To Be, or Not to Be 5G…
That is the question indeed, on many of our minds! Much like the confusion around AT&T and T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ – an update to 3G, but not quite comparable to LTE performance – carriers are leading customers to believe they’ll be getting all that 5G service has been promising – faster speeds and lower latency.
