The RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) value measures the quality of the received signal in a mobile network, specifically in LTE and 5G networks. It indicates the signal-to-noise ratio and how well the network is performing in terms of signal quality and interference. What is a good RSRQ worth? A good RSRQ value typically ranges … Read more
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
A good 5G signal strength is generally considered to be around -85 dBm or better. Signal strength in this range indicates a strong and reliable connection, which supports high-speed data transfer and minimal disruptions. Strengths worse than -85 dBm may still provide connectivity but with potentially reduced performance and reliability. What is a good 5G … Read more
DSS in 5G stands for Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. It is a technology that allows mobile operators to use the same spectrum for both 4G LTE and 5G NR (New Radio) simultaneously. By dynamically allocating bandwidth between 4G and 5G users based on real-time demand, DSS optimizes spectrum usage and enables a more flexible and efficient … Read more
LTE and 5G are distinct generations of mobile technology with different capabilities. LTE, or Long-Term Evolution, is a 4G technology that provides high-speed data and improved network efficiency compared to 3G. It is well-established and widely available, offering reliable performance for most everyday mobile data needs. In contrast, 5G is the fifth generation of mobile … Read more
5G Standalone (5G SA) is a network architecture that utilizes a dedicated 5G core network, separate from the existing 4G LTE infrastructure. Unlike 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), which relies on 4G LTE for certain network functions, 5G SA operates independently and provides a complete 5G experience. This setup supports all the advanced features of 5G, including … Read more
5G availability in the Netherlands is expanding but is not yet ubiquitous. Major cities and urban areas have seen significant rollouts, and many mobile operators are actively working to enhance their 5G networks across the country. However, 5G coverage may still be limited in rural or less densely populated regions. The availability of 5G can … Read more
Tracking Area Identity (TAI) in 5G is a unique identifier used to denote a specific tracking area within the network. It helps the mobile network in managing and routing signaling messages to and from a user’s device. The TAI is used to facilitate efficient location tracking, handovers, and mobility management by defining a region where … Read more
SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) is a feature in telecommunications that allows a voice call to be maintained seamlessly when a user moves between different network types, such as from LTE (Long-Term Evolution) to 2G or 3G networks. SRVCC ensures that ongoing voice calls do not drop when the user transitions between network technologies, … Read more
5G is already available in numerous locations around the world, with significant deployments in major cities and metropolitan areas. Countries such as the United States, South Korea, China, and many in Europe, including the Netherlands, have been actively rolling out 5G networks. In these regions, 5G coverage typically includes major urban centers and surrounding areas, … Read more
