There are currently around 26 billion connected devices on our planet. But most analysts predict that the number will swell to over 75 billion in the next six years. In order to support such an increase, 4G networks will need to be augmented with the increased bandwidth, speed, and responsiveness of 5G.

Our new white paper, 5G—The Fifth Generation of Wireless Network Communications, explores the technical challenges of deploying 5G networks. We cover key issues faced by design engineers, including the shift from remote radio unit to active antenna systems, the design challenges of 5G radio units, and the role of fiber and cloud solutions. We also take a look at how TE is partnering with engineers and telecom OEMs from around the world to create innovative and scalable solutions for 5G’s obstacles.
