For Peter Linder, Ericsson’s vice president of marketing and communications in North America, the most important thing for policy makers and businesses to understand about the next generation of mobile broadband is that 5G is not a single thing. “Instead, it actually provides carriers a lot of options,” Linder explained before leading a seminar about bringing next-generation connectivity to rural America at this year’s CCA Convention.
According to Linder, a lot of this flexibility will come from the fact that 4G and 5G will coexist for much longer than previous generations of mobile broadband, and therefore, they can provide parallel coverage.
