Doug Kirkpatrick on Spectrum Panel at MWC Barcelona 2024

Our CEO and co-founder Doug Kirkpatrick had the fantastic opportunity to speak on a panel at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2024 regarding the spectrum requirements for 6G, titled "How much spectrum is needed for the 6G era?". In addition to Doug, the panel included: ...

As Demand for 5G Grows, So Does the Need for Clean Signals

The wireless signals used today to connect over 1 billion 5G devices are adversely noisy. This imposes additional energy, spectrum, and infrastructure costs on today’s networks, and as demand for wireless connectivity increases, these costs will only grow. Reducing the noise present in those signals...

Why you should care about O-RAN

O-RAN allows telecommunication infrastructure to “plug and play” new innovations to create a more sustainable network. Where we are today As a consumer, you’d be surprised to find incompatible phone or laptop chargers, headphones (unless you’re still sporting that vintage 3mm audio jack), wireless accessories on Bluetooth,...

Road to Widespread 5G: The Cost of 5G

Based on telecommunication ads, it feels like 5G is everywhere. In reality, 5G has three major constraints hindering widespread distribution: spectrum, energy, and money. Current 5G technology is financially inefficient and unsustainable because as equipment...

The Road to Widespread 5G: Not Enough Spectrum

In order to achieve widespread 5G coverage, the 5G network must be profitable to manufacture, install, and operate. To do this, 5G needs to be better optimized globally than both 4G-Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the current initial deployments of 5G-New Radio (NR) within the constraints...

The Road to Widespread 5G: Not Enough Power

The 5G network must be profitable to manufacture, install, and operate. To do this, 5G must achieve a more global optimization within the constraints of spectrum, energy, and money than both 4G-Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the current introduction to 5G-New Radio (NR). Optimization has more recently favored maximizing...
