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 […]

Cutting the Cable – Switching from Cable Internet to Cellular 5G
90 Days in: An Update After about 90 days of living off 5G Internet service, I am more than pleased with the experience. Have I had any issues? I’d be lying if I said no, but thankfully they’ve been minor. Things like buffering video and choppy audio on voice over IP (VoIP) calls. Regardless of […]
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 […]
How Does 5G Work?
5G is the fifth generation in cellular networks, but there are many layers to consider as we start to become immersed in this new technology. Using a different type of encoding than 4G LTE service, 5G is designed for much lower latency and greater flexibility. Its method for dispersing signals is almost spider web like […]
