From the perspective of NI’s Head of Semiconductor Marketing David Hall, the release of the iPhone 12, which supports both sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G, will significantly accelerate network deployments of mmWave infrastructure.
“What we saw from Apple is clear commitment to deploy mmWave devices in the U.S.,” he said, adding that this decision will provide higher upload and download speeds for consumers while also giving carriers the ability to expand network capacity in the future.
