“As the industry gains momentum on the 5G topic there is a risk that if we stop discussing the evolution of LTE too soon and stall the market,” said Claudia Bacco, RCR Wireless News Managing Director – EMEA. “This is a very real concern causing potential confusion as to what is and isn’t 5G and the path to get there. 5G will focus on ‘use cases’; not the topics of prior network upgrades such as data speeds. This creates a huge window for innovation, along with a great deal of risk with such a major shift in the role of technology in these discussions. Potentially this leads to a longer time to reality for 5G then many would desire.”
