Explosive applications growth. Massive bandwidth needs. Enabling 5G network densification for both fixed and mobile wireless is a high priority for operators.
The use of millimeter microwave technologies is rapidly gaining traction to support fixed broadband connections encompassing a broad range of wireless applications related to machine-to-machine and man-to-machine connectivity. Network densification for 5G mobile technologies are also being developed and tested, with virtualization technology being a key driver for an increase in efficiency and cost optimization.
These technologies, coupled with LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) features, and LTE-TDD technology, entail various timing requirements associated with phase alignment of radios for both fixed and mobile applications. The specific timing accuracy and stability requirements being developed by the standards bodies will have lasting impacts on network architectures.
This webinar will discuss the challenges of network timing services for 5G networks that operators must consider, including the key concepts of setting, maintaining and holding phase. The speakers will explore technical approaches to cost-effectively and reliably solve these stringent time/phase requirements and explain why a PTP grandmaster at the network edge and assisted partial timing support (APTS) at the network core are crucial elements for any 5G deployment.
