5G is designed to use the radio frequency spectrum differently and more efficiently; for this reason, 5G is referred to as 5G New Radio (NR). 5G is designed to build upon 4G; in fact, the first iterations of 5G NR, which are now being released in select areas of the world, require existing 4G LTE infrastructure—this is called 5G NR Non-Standalone (NSA). 5G networks will drive three levels of connectivity: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (uRLLC)—all of which will enable a range of technological innovations and compelling use cases in a variety of industries. This Frost Radar™ identifies and profiles the leading global suppliers that are active in the 5G NR infrastructure industry.
