This year, carriers across the globe will be considering how they can cost-effectively roll out new 5G networks, whilst reducing complexity in their legacy 2G/3G/4G infrastructure.
In developing markets, carriers face the challenge of delivering 2G, 3G, and in some areas, 4G. They must do this while meeting their financial targets, which is challenging given the typically low average revenue per user. Carriers’ networks must be flexible to support more users and higher bandwidth services. They must also be easily upgradeable to new connectivity standards, as and when there is the demand for advanced mobile use cases.
