Private 5G can solve some enterprise problems that Wi-Fi can’t
While service providers might think of private 5G as a competitor to Wi-Fi, short-term its enterprise use will be supplemental.
How 5G frequency affects range and speed
5G spectrum use falls into three major bands, each with different characteristics that can influence coverage and deployment strategies.
NIST aims to make frequency sharing more efficient for wireless networks
Machine-learning formula will help different radio protocols, such as Wi-Fi and LTE, work together more efficiently in the same wireless spectrum.
FCC makes it easier to deploy 5G in cities
FCC rules limit the restrictions cities can place on where 5G wireless base stations can be placed and what they look like.
Conspiracy theories slow public 5G adoption (but private 5G gets a boost)
When radio waves, viruses and tin foil hats collide. How the coronavirus crisis is changing how, where and why 5G is being deployed.
COVID-19 to delay enterprise 5G adoption
A key industry standard for the development of new-radio 5G will remain unreleased for at least two more months, holding back the availability of 5G products for the enterprise.
HPE rolls out turnkey 5G-as-a-service
IT giant targets telco hardware makers with deployable pure 5G networks and Wi-Fi integration.
Verizon and AT&T billions lead the spending for 5G licenses
28 wireless providers paid more than $7.5 billion for 3.4 GHz of spectrum auctioned off by the Federal Communications Commission.
Enterprises roll out private 5G while standards, devices, coverage evolve
Early adopters are beginning to test private 5G deployments, inspired by the promise of superior performance and support for previously infeasible applications.
Why everything you know about 5G is wrong
If you buy what the telcos are telling you, 5G will bring you gigabit per second speeds and sub-10-millisecond latency. It's a pity that you really won't see anything like that in the real world. Here's the real 5G story.
Is technology killing globalization?
What you need to know -- and do -- about the tech-driven deglobalization trend and how it’s effecting change. Your career depends on understanding how nationalism and regulations impact business.

Game changers at the branch: Wi-Fi 6, 4G, 5G plus SD-WAN
The growing use of cloud services is changing the pattern and the volume of branch-office data across the WAN, but wireless cellular services along with the intelligence of software-defined WAN can help keep traffic and costs in line....
5G holds promise for enterprises, but what’s real?
As businesses look to the near future when 5G services will be widely available, they need to know about what it can do, how and what’s needed to get ready for it.

Making the move to 5G: What to know, how to plan for it
Is 5G real? When should you upgrade? How will enterprises benefit and what are the costs and ROI? Analyst Jack Gold joins IDG TECH(talk) hosts Juliet Beauchamp and Computerworld's Ken Mingis to answer those questions and more to help...
5G is poised to transform manufacturing
5G wireless holds much promise for manufacturing facilities, largely for its speed and low latency, so a few early adopters are buying into the technology, but its pervasive use in factories is still years off.
Will 5G accelerate edge computing as a service?
The key to making edge computing as a service practical is the capability for network operators to deploy a fast, low-latency connection – that is, they need 5G.
IoT roundup: Quantifying growth, medical imaging and 5G (have you heard of it?)
As 2020 approaches, we look at quantifying trends and ROI around the internet of things, an advance in medical imaging tech and bringing another type of network to the IoT game.
