Advanced technologies have transitioned from a competitive edge to a requirement for businesses, and private wireless is an ideal solution to support the growth. However, it isn’t right or necessary for every organization. It’s important to understand what special benefits it provides and if it’s necessary for your business.
Most hospitals around the country, particularly in rural areas, still struggle with modernization through cellular networks. This is usually because of the belief that WiFi is good enough, and confusion about how impactful it is to hospital operations coupled with budgeting concerns. The article is a typical path and process for investing in the right cellular connectivity.
The public safety communications market has historically been a quiet giant in the wireless industry. In-building connectivity for first responders has always been important, but now mobile carriers are also bringing public safety much closer to their core consumer-facing brand.
Fire and Life Safety Systems are required and can be expensive and complex to deploy. This is due to the extensive wiring, network architecture planning, and system integrator costs needed to ensure the systems are installed properly for the unique environment and jurisdiction requirements to ensure systems work without fail each and every day.
Open RAN and private networks are two of the most consistently hyped wireless network technologies, but so far neither has reached mass adoption. Now open RAN vendors are starting to see potential in enterprise networks, and companies that deploy private wireless are evaluating open RAN.
There has been much discussion of the different characteristics of high, mid and low band 5G with respect to penetration, propagation and throughput. These differences emphasize two key metrics, power consumption and spectral efficiency, and are reasons that mid band has become the de facto gold standard of RF for building out 5G networks.
Open RAN isn’t a technology; it’s a global concept that’s all about ensuring interoperability. It will usher in a new level of flexibility, innovation and market competition within the telecom industry.
Enterprises looking to innovate should understand the characteristics of each type of 5G spectrum as they consider installing their own private wireless network.
Dennis Burns, director of public safety for Advanced RF (ADRF) Technologies outlines the company’s new in-building products that will be showcased during the IWCE 2022 event in Las Vegas. Attendees can get more information about these offerings by visiting ADRF at Booth 1525.
Last year saw incredible progress in the wireless and telecommunication space that should make for an exciting 2022. While the continued rollout of 5G will obviously be one of the biggest highlights of the year, there are certain trends that will impact consumers and businesses more than others.
