Despite the deployment of “5G” wireless technologies that is expected to come over the next several years, carriers are not pulling back on their investment in “4G” technology rollouts. Even as 5G moves closer to reality, LTE is in full swing, said 5G Americas President Chris Pearson earlier this year during a webinar about the path to 5G. Instead of completely replacing 5G, 4G will serve as the foundation for 5G, Pearson said.
The primary drivers for 5G have been well documented. Mobile bandwidth demand from consumers is increasing rapidly, as video anytime, anywhere has become a user requirement.
