| NOTAS: | "In the future, microwave share will continue to be high, supporting the requirements of LTE and 5G. With the introduction of 5G in microwave bands, the availability and usage of microwave spectrum for fixed services will go through a major transformation in the next few years. E-band will grow in importance and in usage, and we will see an introduction of new bands around and beyond 100GHz. The evolution of 5G new radio (NR) is rapidly progressing as more parts are being standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and other organizations, with a focus on both enhanced and new services. This requires a closer look at the demands that will be put on the transport networks to achieve the desired results. Transport networks need to support new types of radio networks and additional interfaces with different requirements on bandwidth and latency, but the diverse deployment possibilities in 5G RAN cause actual transport demands to vary more than in typical 4G networks." |
