Shaping the 5G networks of tomorrow As the fifth generation of wireless technology, known as 5G, is expected to create the "network of networks"—which will deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency than ever before—mobile network operators (MNOs) will need to evolve in three fundamental ways: Densification.  Densification will be necessary to get network access closer to individual users—along city streets, in buildings and everywhere in between. By adding more antennas, small cell sites as well as upgrading to MIMO and sector-splitting technologies, MNOs will be on track to offer speeds which will need to be at least 10 times faster than the current 4G technology. Virtualization.  To effectively manage spectrum, MNOs will need to shift the work of physical equipment to virtualized environments operating in centralized data centers using solutions such as centralized radio access networks (C-RAN),network function virtualization (NFV) and cell virtualization.
