CELLULAR MARKET CHALLENGES

EXTERNAL USE4

• Capacity, data rates, subscribers− Ever increasing need for data− Smart devices increasing Internet traffic

• Reduce equipment size− Smaller footprint to reduce installation costs

• Network infrastructure evolution− Network infrastructure evolution from passive

antennas to active antennas− Reduced power consumption requirement

(5G power consumption 90% less than 4G with 10x capacity)

• Multiple standards to support− 2G/GSM/GPRS/EDGE− UMTS/3G/TD-SCDMA− TDD-LTE/FDD-LTE− 4G / LTE-A

• Reduce CAPEX/OPEX − Higher gain/higher efficiency− Higher capacity/higher bandwidth
