2020 Global Analysis on 5G and New Network Architectures

Dublin, June 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Impact of New Mobile Network Architectures" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report examines the impact of new mobile network architectures. It analyses if virtualisation of the 5G radio access network will truly enable significant gains for operators in the medium term and what impact dynamic spectrum management will have on 5G.

The report also answers the following questions:

  • What is the timetable for a standalone (SA) core network, the gateway to true 5G?

  • Will operators no longer be dependent on traditional equipment suppliers? Who are the RAN mavericks?

  • What impact will new entrants from the US have on the RAN market?

  • Which operators are spearheading the adoption of 5G wireless network virtualisation?

Key Topics Covered:
