The Telecom industry is certainly very eager to deploy 5G services with the support of ultra-high capacity and very low latency next generation networks. But before we get too excited and be prepared to see some commercial availability, 5G technologies do need to be standardized. This is currently being looked after by the 3GPP. This group covers many areas such as the inter-working of 5G with different technologies, quality of service and many other low level technical topics. Although the main study items can be categorised under three branches. Radio Access, Core Transport Network and Services. In this article I will try to discuss the future outlook and look into the New Radio paradigm.

As we know, mobile data needs to travel on a frequency band and bands have different specialities as some of them carry the data for a longer distance and some are just better at passing through things like walls in the cities and obstacles in the nature.

The term “5G” is rapidly coming into the focus of attention and the telecoms industry is on the way to defining a new set of standards for the 5G systems. Most of the early hype is mainly associated with the “bandwidth-thirst” of the Telecom ecosystem as we can understand from the pilot projects, live network tests at the gigabit level and massive MIMO deployments in more progressive cities.
