ABSTRACT
The evolution of 2G to 3G and now the current 4G technologies have changed the user’s expectations. 5G and beyond are at an increased pressure of enriching the customer experience beyond what the current generation of technologies can offer. Consumer devices of today can offer the best in class voice, data and video communications connecting anyone from anywhere at any time. First generation mobile networks (1G), were a real revolution in providing wireless voice from anywhere but with a limited mobility. It is now becoming a necessity to be able to deploy a single but fully converged network pipe to match the bandwidth demands and provide seamless wide area coverage. Availability of larger bandwidth on demand, speed, display, and multimedia technologies shall make the user devices much more powerful on top of the autonomous network capabilities built in.
