Read more5G Network Slicing for Vertical Industries
As the world becomes ever more digitally and globally connected with 5G, industries are experiencing an ICT-driven transformation. There are many different global trends that can account for this dramatic projected growth, including: A rise in emerging economies, which are yet to be fully immersed in the digital world The urbanization of integrated mobility The digital revolution New health and wellbeing demands The scarcity and stability of resources. Additionally, business trends such as hyper competition, new customer power and sophistication, the fast-paced change in business ecosystems and disruptive technological advances all affect vertical industries to different…GSA Report

5G Update – Global Market Trials
The past eighteen months have seen substantial investment in developing, lab testing and running field trials of 5G enabling and candidate technologies. The development of 5G systems has moved well beyond equipment vendors’ labs and into operators’ networks. By the start of September 2017 GSA had identified 81 operators, in 42 countries, that have demonstrated or are testing, trialling or have been licensed to begin field trials of 5G enabling and candidate technologies. Between them they have announced over 140 separate demonstrations, tests or trials that we have been able to identify. This GSA paper…Read moreGSA Report

VoLTE & ViLTE Market Status Snapshot
This report updates the GSA’s previous report on VoLTE, ViLTE and EVS, last published in January 2017, and the VoLTE network status update published in May 2017. We have not updated information on the status of the market for the EVS (Enhanced Voice Service) codec, as we have found no evidence of recent market movement; we know of only three instances where operators have launched services using EVS technology: (Vodafone Germany, NTT DoCoMo in Japan, and T-Mobile USA). ©2017 GSA Charts and tables may be used providing GSA is identified as the source.Read moreGSA Snapshot

GSA Filing with the FCC on ESIM NPRM
Compatibility between Earth Stations in Motion Operating in the Frequency Range 28.35-28.6 GHz and Stations in the Mobile Service Operating in Adjacent Frequency Bands This study provides an analysis of the potential interference from earth stations in motion (ESIM) operating in the frequency range 28.35-28.6 GHz into Mobile Service (MS) stations operating in adjacent frequency bands. Three types of ESIM are considered: air, sea, and land based. For the air case, two deployment scenarios are considered: an aircraft airborne (at 10, 5, or 1 km altitude) and the aircraft parked at the gate. Similarly for the sea…Read moreConsultation

Techno-economics of ubiquitous LTE coverage
This white paper, sponsored by the GSA, examines the economic feasibility of ubiquitous LTE coverage. Wider coverage requires high investment cost, while at the same time it grows the market size. An accurate knowledge on the relationship between costs and revenues improves the decision-making process regarding investments. The purpose of this paper is to accurately quantify the marginal cost and revenue of mobile data. The developed cost and revenue models are applied to UK’s mobile data market. The results show that operators could deploy wider LTE network coverage and profitably provide mobile data services everywhere.…Read moreReport
