Private 5G Networks Will Soar in 2022, Is Your Fiber Plan Ready to Meet Demand?

According to a recent report by RAN Research, a division of Rethink Technology Research, private 5G network deployments will surge over the next few years, accelerating ahead of public 5G rollouts. With growth expected to be its fastest between 2022-2025, and peaking in 2027, the golden era of private 5G networks is on our doorstep. So, what does this mean for broadband and fiber?

Webinar: Fiber Planning and Design has Gone Mobile

With the advent of 4G and 5G technologies, wireless networks can now use IP-based protocols for delivery of all services. Some data-driven services (such as SIM-based IoT and 5G messaging), still rely on services and technologies originally developed for earlier network generations.

Delivering More Than Broadband

In rural U.S. and Canada, fixed broadband Internet connectivity – particularly fiber – is uncommon. This is for two main reasons: networks are expensive to build, and rural areas are typically more geographically distant and less populous than urban areas.

How Does Fibre and Broadband Unlock Edge Computing for 5G

Expected within two years at most and set to enable thousands of low latency applications, particularly for industrial purposes, Multi-Edge Access Computing (MEC) is emerging as a key requirement to support 5G SA (Standalone). Cloud computing and IT service power at the edge of a network offers many benefits, but to deliver on MEC’s enormous commercial promise, fibre has to play a central role.

What do 5G Private Networks mean for Broadband and Fibre?

Private 5G industrial IoT networks are about to become big. Probably, very big, because there’s a huge range of potential use cases, and stakeholders (across many sectors) are eagerly planning to capitalise on new, high-performance mobile capabilities to run wireless operations in factories, broadcasting, sports, smart cities and more.
