How is Nokia Testing 5G-Advanced and 6G?
Nokia Bell Labs and Keysight Technologies have partnered in order to verify the performance of 5G-Advanced and 6G transceiver (TRX) modules. Nokia is looking to accelerate research and development critical to supporting 5G-Advanced and 6G use cases. These are use cases which leverage millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz (THz) frequencies to wirelessly transmit large amounts […]
What Frequency Bands Does 5G Use?
If you’re in the market for a 5G cellular modem or router, you may want to consider its supported frequency bands. There are three types of 5G. Sub-6 (also called FR1) refers to low band frequencies below 6GHz, and mmWave (also called FR2) refers to frequencies over 24GHz. You also have mid band, or the […]
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 […]
Will Cellular Carriers Continue to Invest in mmWave?
Many of the cellular carriers are, or have dedicated a large portion of their capex budgets this year, but this doesn’t mean that millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G deployments are done. Mobile Experts, in a recent report, say that it expects mmWave investments will return in late 2023 and 2024. Companies like Verizon and AT&T have […]
