Editor's Notes
- #5: Talk points: In general terms, different frequencies determine the coverage area…not necessarily the technology. In this slide we try to illustrate 3 typical scenarios expected to be somewhat common: 1) when both 4G and 5G radios are deployed in the same frequency, meaning that both will have very similar coverage area, 2) when 4G is deployed low frequencies, while 5G is deployed in high frequencies. This will make 5G coverage smaller than 4G coverage for example 3) when 5G standalone is deployed in low bands for example, with no related 4G coverage (i.e. at least not integrated with 5G network). These 3 cases can help us to draw some conclusions described in the slides in terms of deployments examples: 1) using non-standalone 5G, same coverage area as 4G, where all the sites can be physically collocated. 2) non-standalone 5G, different coverage area, where 4G and 5G sites will be majority collocated as case 1, but also few 5G radios would be needed to be deployed in between 4G sites, as smaller coverage leads to holes that sometimes need to be covered for specific reasons. 3) standalone 5G, which is not integrated with 4G, will require dedicated deployment
