Frequently Asked Questions

What is 5G?

The fifth generation of mobile networks, offering higher speeds, lower latency and support for many more connected devices than 4G, along with features such as network slicing.

What is Open RAN?

An approach that disaggregates the radio access network into hardware and software components with open interfaces, so operators can mix vendors instead of relying on a single supplier.

How does 5G relate to edge computing?

5G's low latency and edge computing complement each other: processing near the network edge lets applications such as industrial automation and video analytics respond quickly.

What is 6G?

The expected next generation of mobile networks, still being researched and standardised. The 6G book on this site covers the technologies and architectures being discussed.

Which bodies define 5G?

3GPP defines the standards, ITU defines IMT-2020 requirements, and the O-RAN Alliance works on open interfaces.
