The 5G Future – Assessing the Landscape for IN-BUILDING COMMUNICATIONS

The next generation of wireless – 5G, CBRS, Wi-Fi 6 – is on the horizon. Increased speeds, low latency, and reduced congestion on mobile networks will revolutionize the way we use an ever-increasing number of IoT devices and design in-building communication infrastructures. 5G and CBRS are technologies providing cellular service, WI-FI 6 is a short-range wireless access technology, and BLE is a wireless personal area network designed especially for short-range communication – all technologies are complementary and will each support different use cases in the built environment.
