As part of TelecomTV’s “Spotlight on 5G” series of programmes, vendors and operators discuss the development of the 5G RAN and give their views and insights on its development. Based on TelecomTV’s coverage of the sector, we’ve identified the key areas generating the most interest amongst our community, and that could impact the strategic choices of telcos and their partners.

Is there a compelling role for mmWave? Can Small Cells really help with 5G densification? When will we see the RIC in 5G networks? And have attitudes to Open RAN evolved? We want to separate the hype from reality - and set out our Strategy Outlook for 5G RAN.
