5G Network Planning—Capacity, Performance, Wireline Competitiveness

Due to advances in technology, this report is no longer current and is no longer available for purchase.

This Rysavy Research 2021 report analyzed network planning, capacity, and performance of wireline and wireless technologies, including 4G, 5G (mid-band spectrum and mmWave), cable (DOCSIS), cable in the future, and fiber. The report included:

• Performance information
• Mid-band spectrum and mmWave
• Capacity modeling based on Gbps/sq km
• A discussion of all pertinent variables such as site density and spectral efficiency
• The equations to calculate capacity
• A quantitative comparison of wireless vs. wired networks
• An Excel spreadsheet that performs the calculations and provides the ability to enter alternate assumptions, such as amount of spectrum available
