<p>The fifth generation wireless standard is expected to underpin new technology deployments as well as future technologies that at this time can only be imagined. A recent survey completed by TIA and sponsored by InterDigital reveals mobile operators views on 5G development and deployment.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<a href="/white_papers/5g-operator-survey">TIA 5G Operator Survey 2015</a>,&rdquo; discloses that most mobile operators believe 5G will require a significantly different system architecture from today&rsquo;s cellular network and that 5G will have multiple radio interfaces. It also shows that a dominant majority of mobile operators expect Asia to lead the development and deployment of 5G, ahead of North America and Europe.</p>
<p>On September 28, TIA NOW, TIA&rsquo;s online video network, hosted a live video panel with industry leaders and experts to discuss the findings from the TIA 5G Operator Survey. Abe Nejad, Anchor and Head of Editorial Content, TIA NOW, moderated a dynamic discussion that included panelists Gabriel Brown, Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading and author of the 5G Operator Survey and White Paper; Shawn Covell, VP of International 5G Advocacy at Intel; Dr. Michael Peeters, Chief Technology Officer of the Wireless Business Line at Alcatel-Lucent; Dr. Jeff Reed, Professor at Virginia Tech; and B.K. Yi, Chief Technology Officer at InterDigital.</p>
<p>&ldquo;5G should be a transformational technology, impact other industries and ultimately society&hellip;within the survey response, it is interesting that operators aspire to all those things, but are being quite pragmatic about achieving those things,&rdquo; stated Gabriel when asked about the operators&rsquo; responses to the TIA survey.</p>
