Richard Jhon ProSe in 5G, or Proximity Services, is a set of features that enables direct communication between devices in close proximity without requiring network infrastructure. This includes capabilities such as device-to-device (D2D) communication and local area services, allowing devices to share data directly. ProSe supports various applications, including enhanced public safety communication, localized content sharing, and … Read more
Is EVDO 4G? Today, we are going to clarify a common question: Is EVDO considered a 4G technology? To explain this in detail, let’s first understand what EVDO is and then compare it to what defines a 4G technology. EVDO stands for Evolution-Data Optimized. It’s a high-speed mobile data technology based on the CDMA (Code … Read more
A 5G access point is a network device that facilitates the connection between a 5G-enabled device and the 5G network. It is responsible for providing high-speed internet access and managing data traffic for devices within its coverage area. Access points are typically integrated into network infrastructure to support the deployment of 5G services. How does … Read more
What is SGSN in 4G? Today, let’s dive into understanding the SGSN in the context of 4G networks. In the previous article, we talked about the various core network elements in LTE, and now we’re going to focus on one of the important components — the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). This node plays a … Read more
To determine if your tariff is 5G capable, you need to check the details of your mobile plan with your network provider. Most providers will list whether 5G is included in their tariffs, either on their website, in your account details, or by contacting customer service directly. How can I check if 5G is available? … Read more
5G RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture refers to the structure and components used to deliver 5G wireless services. It includes elements such as gNBs (next-generation Node Bs), which provide the radio interface for 5G, and supports new features like ultra-low latency, high data rates, and massive connectivity. The 5G RAN is designed to be more … Read more
There are primarily three types of 5G: low-band, mid-band, and high-band (often referred to as mmWave). Low-band 5G offers broad coverage and better penetration through buildings, but with lower speeds compared to higher bands. Mid-band 5G strikes a balance between coverage and speed, providing faster speeds than low-band while covering a moderate range. High-band 5G … Read more
DSS 5G, or Dynamic Spectrum Sharing 5G, is a technology that allows mobile network operators to use the same spectrum for both 4G LTE and 5G services. It enables the flexible allocation of spectrum resources between these two generations of technology based on real-time demand, which helps in the efficient use of available spectrum and … Read more
TAI, or Tracking Area Identifier, in 5G is a unique identifier used to manage and track the location of mobile devices within the network. It helps the network keep track of which tracking area a device is currently located in, which is essential for efficient handovers and mobility management. The TAI allows the network to … Read more
Yes, 5G can track your location. Like previous generations of mobile networks, 5G has the capability to track the location of devices using methods such as cell tower triangulation and, in some cases, integration with GPS. The advanced infrastructure of 5G, including its dense network of small cells, can provide more precise location tracking compared … Read more
