Planning For 5G Wireless At Your Facilities

The path to install an effective 5G wireless system is more complex and nuanced than for 4G/LTE. This is due to vastly different frequency band characteristics and the addition of more wireless technologies to architect in-building networks, such as small cells, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and repeaters. Facility managers should understand the 5G landscape to inform their decisions on building a cost-effective indoor wireless network and avoid a costly rip-and-replace or overhaul in the near future.
