The huge current investment in deploying 5G mobile networks is promoted by setting high expectations for significantly increased throughput and reduced latency. This can only be realized by deploying the network radios close to the users, especially for the millimeter-wave frequencies with their short propagation distance. This also means a high density of radios, often imbedded within macro coverage. To... read more
