> 5G (from "5th Generation") is a marketing term for advanced wireless systems. Industry association 3GPP defines any system using "5G NR" (5G New Radio) software as "5G", a definition that came into general use by late 2018. It supercedes 2G, 3G and 4G and their respective associated technologies (Like GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, High Speed Packet Access, LTE, LTE Advanced Pro, etc.)
> 
> The first fairly substantial deployments were in April, 2019. In South Korea, SK Telecom claimed 38,000 base stations, KT Corporation 30,000 and LG U Plus 18,000. 85% are in six major cities.[1] They are using 3.5 GHz (sub-6) spectrum and tested speeds were from 193 to 430 megabits down.[2]
> 
> Verizon opened service on a very limited number of base stations in Chicago and Minneapolis using 400 MHz of 28 GHz millimeter wave spectrum. Download speeds in Chicago were from 80 to 634 megabits. Upload speeds were from 12 to 57 megabits. Ping was 25 milliseconds.[3] LTE tested at 227 megabits down and 57 megabits up.
> 
> There are only 5 companies in the world offering 5G radio hardware and complete systems: Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, Samsung, and Ericsson. The U.S. has urged allies not to use Chinese equipment, claiming a security issue. [4] [5][6] Some countries like Japan, have banned network operators from using Huawei or ZTE equipment. [7] [8] Others, have dismissed these claims. [9]

> 5G networks are digital cellular networks, in which the service area covered by providers is divided into a mosaic of small geographical areas called cells. Analog signals representing sounds and images are digitized in the phone, converted by an analog to digital converter and transmitted as a stream of bits. All the 5G wireless devices in a cell communicate by radio waves with a local antenna array and low power automated transceiver (transmitter and receiver) in the cell, over frequency channels assigned by the transceiver from a common pool of frequencies, which are reused in geographically separated cells. The local antennas are connected with the telephone network and the Internet by a high bandwidth optical fiber or wireless backhaul connection. Like existing cellphones, when a user crosses from one cell to another, their mobile device is automatically "handed off" seamlessly to the antenna in the new cell.
> 
> Millimeter waves have shorter range than microwaves, therefore the cells are limited to smaller size; The waves also have trouble passing through building walls, requiring multiple antennas to cover a cell.[10] Millimeter wave antennas are smaller than the large antennas used in previous cellular networks, only a few inches (several cm) long Another technique used for increasing the data rate is massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output).[10] Each cell will have multiple antennas communicating with the wireless device, received by multiple antennas in the device, thus multiple bitstreams of data will be transmitted simultaneously, in parallel. In a technique called beamforming the base station computer will continuously calculate the best route for radio waves to reach each wireless device, and will organise multiple antennas to work together as phased arrays to create beams of millimeter waves to reach the device.[10][11]
> 
> The new 5G wireless devices also have 4G LTE capability, as the new networks use 4G for initially establishing the connection with the cell, as well as in locations where 5G access is not available.[12]
> Usage scenario
> 
> ITU-R have defined three main types of uses that the capability of 5G is expected to enable. They are Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC).[13] Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) refers to using 5G as an evolution to 4G LTE mobile broadband services with faster connections, higher throughput, and more capacity. Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) is a planned future system with high aspirations for reliability and low latency. Dates of availability and deployment are not yet known. 5G NR is designed to support up to 1 million devices per square kilometer.[14]
> Speed
> 
> 5G NR speed in sub-6 GHz bands can be slightly higher than the 4G with a similar amount of spectrum and antennas,[15][16] though some 3GPP 5G networks will be slower than some advanced 4G networks, such as T-Mobile's LTE/LAA network, which achieves 500+ Mbit/s in Manhattan.[17] The 5G specification allows LAA (License Assisted Access) as well but it has not yet been demonstrated. Adding LAA to an existing 4G configuration can add hundreds of megabits per second to the speed, but this is an extension of 4G, not a new part of the 5G standard.[17]
> 
> Speeds in the less common millimetre wave spectrum can be substantially higher. Early testing on Verizon's 5G millimeter wave system showed speeds of 200-634 megabits using 400 MHz of spectrum.[18] See above for more recent data.
> Standards
> 
> Initially, the term was associated with the International Telecommunication Union's IMT-2020 standard, which required a theoretical peak download capacity of 20 gigabits, along with other requirements.[19] Then, the industry standards group 3GPP chose the 5G NR (New Radio) standard together with LTE as their proposal for submission to the IMT-2020 standard.[20][21]
> 
> The first phase of 3GPP 5G specifications in Release-15 is scheduled to complete in 2019. The second phase in Release-16 is due to be completed in 2020.[22]
> 
> 5G NR can include lower frequencies (FR1), below 6 GHz, and higher frequencies (FR2), above 24 GHz. However, the speed and latency in early FR1 deployments, using 5G NR software on 4G hardware (non-standalone), are only slightly better than new 4G systems, estimated at 15 to 50% better.[23][24][25]
> 
> IEEE covers several areas of 5G with a core focus in wireline sections between the Remote Radio Head (RRH) and Base Band Unit (BBU). The 1914.1 standards focus on network architecture and dividing the connection between the RRU and BBU into two key sections. Radio Unit (RU) to the Distributor Unit (DU) being the NGFI-I (Next Generation Fronthaul Interface) and the DU to the Central Unit (CU) being the NGFI-II interface allowing a more diverse and cost-effective network. NGFI-I and NGFI-II have defined performance values which should be compiled to ensure different traffic types defined by the ITU are capable of being carried. 1914.3 standard is creating a new Ethernet frame format capable of carrying IQ data in a much more efficient way depending on the functional split utilized. This is based on the 3GPP definition of functional splits. Multiple network synchronization standards within the IEEE groups are being updated to ensure network timing accuracy at the RU is maintained to a level required for the traffic carried over it.
> 5G NR
> Main article: 5G NR
> 
> 5G NR (New Radio) is a new air interface developed for the 5G network.[26] It is supposed to be the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks.[27]
> Pre-standard implementations
> 
>     5GTF: The 5G network implemented by American carrier Verizon for Fixed Wireless Access in late 2010s uses a pre-standard specification known as 5GTF (Verizon 5G Technical Forum). The 5G service provided to customers in this standard is incompatible with 5G NR. There are plans to upgrade 5GTF to 5G NR "Once [it] meets our strict specifications for our customers," according to Verizon.[28]
> 
> Deployment
> See also: List of 5G NR networks
> 
> Beyond mobile operator networks, 5G is also expected to be widely utilized for private networks with applications in industrial IoT, enterprise networking, and critical communications.
> 
> Initial 5G NR launches will depend on existing LTE 4G infrastructure in non-standalone (NSA) mode, before maturation of the standalone (SA) mode with the 5G core network.
> 
> As of February 2019, the Global Mobile Suppliers Association had identified 201 operators in 83 countries that are actively investing in 5G (i.e. that have demonstrated, are testing or trialling, or have been licensed to conduct field trials of 5G technologies, are deploying 5G networks or have announced service launches). The equivalent numbers in November 2018 were 192 operators in 81 countries.[29] The first country to adopt 5G on a large scale was South Korea, on April, 2019.
> Spectrum
> 
> In order to support increased throughput requirements of 5G, large quantities of new spectrum (5G NR frequency bands) have been allocated to 5G.[30] For example, in July 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States freed up vast amounts of bandwidth in underutilised high-band spectrum for 5G. The Spectrum Frontiers Proposal (SFP) doubled the amount of millimeter-wave unlicensed spectrum to 14 GHz and created four times the amount of flexible, mobile-use spectrum the FCC had licensed to date.[31] In March 2018, European Union lawmakers agreed to open up the 3.6 and 26 GHz bands by 2020.[32]
> 
> As of March 2019, there was reported to be 52 countries, territories, special administrative regions, disputed territories and dependencies that are formally considering introducing certain spectrum bands for terrestrial 5G services, are holding consultations regarding suitable spectrum allocations for 5G, have reserved spectrum for 5G, have announced plans to auction frequencies or have already allocated spectrum for 5G use.[33]
> 5G devices
> 
> In March 2019, the Global Mobile Suppliers Association released the industry’s first database tracking worldwide 5G device launches.[34] In it, the GSA identified 23 vendors who have confirmed the availability of forthcoming 5G devices with 33 different devices including regional variants. There were seven announced 5G device form factors: (phones (x12 devices), hotspots (x4), indoor and outdoor CPE (x8), modules (x5), Snap-On dongles and adapters (x2) and USB terminals (x1).[35]
> Resistance
> 
> In April, 2019, the city of Brussels blocked a 5G trial because of radiation fears.[36] Since 2018 there have been groups which have opposed the deployment of 5G,[37] citing health concerns. Most authorities do not believe there is conclusive evidence of harm.[38]
> Technology
> New radio frequencies
> See also: 5G NR frequency bands
> 
> The air interface defined by 3GPP for 5G is known as New Radio (NR), and the specification is subdivided into two frequency bands, FR1 (below 6 GHz) and FR2 (mmWave),[39] each with different capabilities.
> Frequency range 1 (< 6 GHz)
> 
> The maximum channel bandwidth defined for FR1 is 100 MHz, due to the scarcity of continuous spectrum in this crowded frequency range. The band most widely being used for 5G in this range is around 3.5 GHz. The Korean carriers are using 3.5 GHz although some millimeter wave spectrum has also been allocated.
> Frequency range 2 (> 24 GHz)
> 
> The minimum channel bandwidth defined for FR2 is the 50 MHz and the maximum is 400 MHz, with two-channel aggregation supported in 3GPP Release 15. In the U.S., Verizon is using 28 GHz and AT&T 39 GHz.
> Massive MIMO
> 
> Massive MIMO (multiple input and multiple output) antennas increases sector throughput and capacity density using large numbers of antennae and Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Each antenna is individually-controlled and may embed radio transceiver components. Nokia claimed a five-fold increase in the capacity increase for a 64-Tx/64-Rx antenna system. The term "massive MIMO" was coined by Nokia Bell Labs researcher Dr. Thomas L. Marzetta in 2010, and has been launched in 4G networks, such as Softbank in Japan.[40]
> 
> Of over 562 separate 5G demonstrations, tests or trials globally of 5G technologies, at least 94 of them have involved testing Massive MIMO in the context of 5G.[41]
> Edge computing
> Main article: Mobile edge computing
> 
> Edge computing is delivered by cloud computing servers closer to the ultimate user. It reduces latency.[42][43]

> Wifi-cellular convergence
> 
> One expected benefit of the transition to 5G is the convergence of multiple networking functions to achieve cost, power and complexity reductions. LTE has targeted convergence with Wi-Fi band/technology via various efforts, such as License Assisted Access (LAA; 5G signal in unlicensed frequency bands that are also used by Wi-Fi) and LTE-WLAN Aggregation (LWA; convergence with Wi-Fi Radio), but the differing capabilities of cellular and Wi-Fi have limited the scope of convergence. However, significant improvement in cellular performance specifications in 5G, combined with migration from Distributed Radio Access Network (D-RAN) to Cloud- or Centralized-RAN (C-RAN) and rollout of cellular small cells can potentially narrow the gap between Wi-Fi and cellular networks in dense and indoor deployments. Radio convergence could result in sharing ranging from the aggregation of cellular and Wi-Fi channels to the use of a single silicon device for multiple radio access technologies.
> NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access)
> 
> NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access) is a proposed multiple-access technique for future cellular systems. In this, same time, frequency, and spreading-code resources are shared by the multiple users via allocation of power. The entire bandwidth can be exploited by each user in NOMA for entire communication time due to which latency has been reduced and users' data rates can be increased. For multiple access, the power domain has been used by NOMA in which different power levels are used to serve different users. 3GPP also included NOMA in LTE-A due to its spectral efficiency and is known as multiuser superposition transmission (MUST) which is two user special case of NOMA.[44]
> SDN/NFV
> Main articles: Software-defined networking, SD-WAN, and Network function virtualization
> 
> Initially, cellular mobile communications technologies were designed in the context of providing voice services and Internet access. Today a new era of innovative tools and technologies is inclined towards developing a new pool of applications. This pool of applications consists of different domains such as the Internet of Things (IoT), web of connected autonomous vehicles, remotely controlled robots, and heterogeneous sensors connected to serve versatile applications.[45] [46][47]
> Operation in unlicensed spectrum
> 
> Like LTE in unlicensed spectrum, 5G NR will also support operation in unlicensed spectrum (NR-U).[48] In addition to License Assisted Access (LAA) from LTE that enable carriers to use those unlicensed spectrum to boost their operational performance for users, in 5G NR it will support standalone NR-U unlicensed operation which will allow new 5G NR networks to be established in different environments without acquiring operational license in licensed spectrum, for instance for localized private network or lower the entry barrier for providing 5G internet services to the public.[48]
> Confusion
> Main articles: 5G Evolution, LTE Advanced Pro, and LTE Advanced
> 
> In various parts of the world, carriers have launched numerous differently branded technologies like "5G Project" or "5G Evolution" which advertise improving existing networks with the use of "5G technology".[49][50] However, these pre-5G networks are actually existing improvement on specification of LTE networks that are not exclusive to 5G.[51]
> Other applications
> Automobiles
> 
> 5G Automotive Association have been promoting the C-V2X communication technology that will first be deployed in 4G. It provides for communication between vehicles and communication between vehicles and infrastructures.[52]
> Automation (factory and process)
> 
> 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation - 5G-ACIA promotes 5G for factory automation and process industry.[53]
> Public safety
> 
> Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) and mission-critical video and data are expected to be furthered in 5G.[54]

> 
>     In April 2008, NASA partnered with Geoff Brown and Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corp to develop 5G communications technology.[55]
>     In 2008, the South Korean IT R&D program of "5G mobile communication systems based on beam-division multiple access and relays with group cooperation" was formed.[56]
> 
>     In August 2012, New York University founded NYU WIRELESS, a multi-disciplinary academic research centre that has conducted pioneering work in 5G wireless communications.[57][58][59]
>     On 8 October 2012, the UK's University of Surrey secured £35M for a new 5G research centre, jointly funded by the British government's UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF) and a consortium of key international mobile operators and infrastructure providers, including Huawei, Samsung, Telefonica Europe, Fujitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde & Schwarz, and Aircom International. It will offer testing facilities to mobile operators keen to develop a mobile standard that uses less energy and less radio spectrum while delivering speeds faster than current 4G with aspirations for the new technology to be ready within a decade.[60][61][62][63]
>     On 1 November 2012, the EU project "Mobile and wireless communications Enablers for the Twenty-twenty Information Society" (METIS) starts its activity towards the definition of 5G. METIS achieved an early global consensus on these systems. In this sense, METIS played an important role of building consensus among other external major stakeholders prior to global standardization activities. This was done by initiating and addressing work in relevant global fora (e.g. ITU-R), as well as in national and regional regulatory bodies.[64]
>     Also in November 2012, the iJOIN EU project was launched, focusing on "small cell" technology, which is of key importance for taking advantage of limited and strategic resources, such as the radio wave spectrum. According to Günther Oettinger, the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society (2014–19), "an innovative utilization of spectrum" is one of the key factors at the heart of 5G success. Oettinger further described it as "the essential resource for the wireless connectivity of which 5G will be the main driver".[65] iJOIN was selected by the European Commission as one of the pioneering 5G research projects to showcase early results on this technology at the Mobile World Congress 2015 (Barcelona, Spain).
>     In February 2013, ITU-R Working Party 5D (WP 5D) started two study items: (1) Study on IMT Vision for 2020 and beyond, and; (2) Study on future technology trends for terrestrial IMT systems. Both aiming at having a better understanding of future technical aspects of mobile communications towards the definition of the next generation mobile.[66]
>     On 12 May 2013, Samsung Electronics stated that they have developed a "5G" system. The core technology has a maximum speed of tens of Gbit/s (gigabits per second). In testing, the transfer speeds for the "5G" network sent data at 1.056 Gbit/s to a distance of up to 2 kilometres.with the use of an 8*8 MIMO.[67][68]
>     In July 2013, India and Israel have agreed to work jointly on development of fifth generation (5G) telecom technologies.[69]
>     On 1 October 2013, NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), the same company to launch world's first 5G network in Japan, wins Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award at CEATEC for 5G R&D efforts[70]
>     On 6 November 2013, Huawei announced plans to invest a minimum of $600 million into R&D for next generation 5G networks capable of speeds 100 times faster than modern LTE networks.[71]

> The 5G megatrend has now gone live. Here's how you invest in it
> 
> Imagine sitting in your living room, enjoying a fun conversation with your grandchild. You smile as the little one proudly holds up a new toy for you see.
> 
> Now, what if the reality is your grandchild was hundreds of miles away? What's actually happening is you're having a holographic phone call which enables the child to appear to be just a few feet away?
> 
> That technology is coming … and sooner than you may realize.
> 
> That's because the 5G era has now officially begun …
> 
> Yesterday brought news that  Verizon Communications  has now gone live with its 5G mobile network for a small group of subscribers in Chicago and Minneapolis. Meanwhile, halfway across the globe, Korean mobile provider,  SK Telecom  also launched its own 5G network. It's this 5G network that will support technologies such as the holographic phone call I just described.
> 
> Now, while you won't be making that call tomorrow, it's coming. The phrase "the future is now" has never been more appropriate as we enter this new era of technology.
> 
> In today's  Digest , let's get everyone up to speed on 5G. And more importantly, let's discuss the massive investment wealth this trend will be creating for years to come.
> 
> ***Over the next decade, 5G will completely revolutionize the way we live
> 
> That's no exaggeration.
> 
> To make sure we're all on the same page as to why, I'm going to turn to Matt McCall, editor of  Investment Opportunities , to help contextualize this opportunity. In Matt's newsletter, he helps readers understand and profit from the major trends that are reshaping our world - and 5G is one of the most transformative trends you and I will experience.
> 
> Here's what Matt wrote to his subscribers back in the fall:
> 
>     The next-generation network will take speeds to levels that seem almost unimaginable.
> 
>     How fast?
> 
>     Well, 5G will in theory increase the level of speed to match that of human reflexes, so we're talking the blink of an eye, perhaps literally.
> 
>     The current 4G network clocks in at around 100 megabits per second, which is extremely fast compared to 3G. But once 5G rolls out, that number jumps to 10,000 megabits per second - or 100 times faster than the current speed!
> 
>     The big breakthrough will be the ability to connect a lot more devices that share large amounts of data in real-time.
> 
> As Matt points out, 5G's ability to connect more devices and share more data in real-time is critical - in fact, that's the real story. This is because all the major technological innovations of tomorrow - self-driving cars, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, the cloud, robotics, smart cities, artificial intelligence - require lightning fast, stable internet connectivity. Thanks to 5G, we'll be able to connect cars, ships, homes, offices, and countless other items with software, sensors and the cloud.
> 
> But what does this really mean for you and me? Here are just a few examples of what 5G will enable:
> 
> ·  Remote surgery. Your doctor won't even need to be in the same operating room as you.
> ·  "Touchy" internet. You'll experience tactile sensations (touch) - not just sight and sound.
> ·  Automated self-driving cars. You've heard of this one. It's coming sooner than you think.
> ·  Holographic phone calls such as the one described earlier. It will appear as though your grandchild is sitting in the same room.
> 
> Get ready. All of this and far more is coming.
> 
> 
> ***As you might imagine, this technology is going to impact the flow of trillions of dollars
> 
> With 5G's context behind us, let's now turn toward the investing implications, starting with the broad financial impact of 5G.
> 
> From  The Hill :
> 
>     Here at home, when the entire 5G value chain is considered, some expect the benefits to top $3.5 trillion, support 22 million jobs, and contribute the equivalent of the entire economy of India to real American global GDP.
> 
>     With speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, lag-time lowered by a factor of five, mobile data volumes 1,000 times greater than today, and lower drain on batteries for remote cellular devices, 5G will enable new capabilities and unlock innovation across the economy.
> 
> So, the volume of wealth that's going to be created by 5G is absolutely enormous. What then are the ways an investor could get involved?
> 
> Well, when you think of 5G, your mind probably jumps to the telecom companies that will offer the 5G service itself - think Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T.
> 
> But there are many other segments operating in the background which you could consider.
> 
> There are the owners of the 5G spectrum itself. "Spectrum" refers to the airwaves that carry the 5G communications signals. Then, there are the semiconductor companies that provide the chips used in our smart devices (think Qualcomm, Intel, and Skyworks). You could even invest in the companies that control the cell towers that will transmit the 5G signals. That's just the beginning - there are many different avenues available to you.
> 
> 
> ***But one of the most interesting investment opportunities relates to 5G's equipment vendors
> 
> I'm referring to Huawei, Nokia, and Ericsson.
> 
> You've likely seen these names in the news in recent months. As we reported here in the  Digest , Huawei has been embroiled in a drama involving arrests, espionage allegations, and fear of Chinese 5G supremacy.
> 
> The Trump administration is concerned that the Chinese government could order Huawei (and other Chinese companies) to build "backdoors" into their equipment that would enable government officials to access sensitive data on the Huawei network for the purposes of spying or sabotage.
> 
> According to  Bloomberg :
> 
>     The Trump administration, convinced Huawei is a Trojan horse for Chinese intelligence, is determined to blunt its growing sales and influence.
> 
> The U.S. has been lobbying allies around the world to ban Huawei and the use of its equipment. In response, Huawei has gone on the offensive and stepped up the mud-slinging. In recent days,  Huawei's rotating Chairman Guo Ping said :
> 
>     The U.S. government has a loser's attitude. They want to smear Huawei because they can't compete with us.
> 
> ***While this drama is getting the headlines, Matt McCall has been pointing his subscribers toward one of Huawei's competitors - Ericsson
> 
> Matt recommended Ericsson last October. Here's his update to subscribers from his March issue of  Investment Opportunities :
> 
>     Ericsson  (ERIC) has been in the news a lot over the last month, and I was pleased to see that almost all of the headlines were positive. That's one reason why the stock climbed to its best level since April 2016.
> 
>     The big news is still a little confusing, but over time it should be a solid boost to the company's top line. I'm talking about the fact that the world's largest telecom equipment company, Huawei, will be arraigned in the U.S. on March 14. The CFO and daughter of the company's founder will be extradited.
> 
>     Huawei's legal issues expand beyond the U.S., and that's creating an opportunity for Ericsson to pick up market share. Ericsson is currently #3 in global telecom equipment market share while Nokia is #2.
> 
>     Ericsson is a compelling investment story because even without a boost from the Huawei situation it is adding new customers at a rapid pace. In fact, it has already announced 5G deals with 10 service providers and another 42 memorandums of understanding. In just the last two weeks, Ericsson has joined forces with U.S. Cellular, Telefonica, Inseego, and China Unicom.
> 
>     The long-term outlook is strong …
>
