Carrying information wirelessly is a task being done tirelessly in this modern era. With services ranging from television, mobile, broadcasting, satellite, and other communication systems, the demand for adequate radio spectrum allocation is needed.

Regulating the spectrum is vital to the mobility and connectivity surging within today’s data-heavy and tech-savvy generation. Allocation of spectrum through licenses guarantees flexibility to regulators to secure the best usage of the spectrum in society, and enables operators to offer innovative services with predictable quality service.

5G connectivity promises a greater user experience with its high bandwidth combined with massive MIMO technology to provide users with Gbps data rates. However, in large open areas such as sports stadiums, convention centers and railway stations with a high user density, such Gbps experience can suffer owing to interference in radio signals. A ubiquitous and consistent service for such areas can have many takers and open up investments opportunities for improved network infrastructure and coverage given the digitalising of critical sectors.

The modern IT network infrastructure model is witnessing rapid changes. With the deployment of 5G network architecture gaining momentum, business organizations cannot afford to overlook the importance of customer experience, increased adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA) and migration to cloud from their IT service management (ITSM) strategy.
