As the quiet summer months settle upon us, we have an opportunity to reflect on where things stand in today's telecom market.
The rush to achieve 5G has been largely hype so far, with no real 5G networks in operation except maybe in China and South Korea. The jump from traditional 4G performance to 4G Evolved (which is the underlying tech for pretty much every "5G" network currently on the market) has been uninspiring, in large part because it makes little difference to the average end user.
And yet, there is much to look forward to. Private 5G is not only real, but it is capable of offering vast efficiency improvements to industrial and enterprise customers. Open RAN, while unproven and slow to develop, should eventually lead to long-term cost savings and greater flexibility for operators. And improvements in bridge technologies, such as Fixed Wireless Access and Passive Optical Networks, are bringing more stable and enhanced broadband throughput to the home.
At Ethernity, we developed products and solutions that were ready for a 5G world that has been slow to take hold. As such, we have adjusted our models to be successful for a variety of use cases that are applicable to today's emerging markets (like FWA and PON), as well as to 5G and Open RAN as they become more ubiquitous. And we continue to promote our technology expertise within a broader range of industries so that there's even greater exposure to the benefits of Ethernity's IP.
Thus, we recently attended a new exhibition for us, Embedded World, which brought discussions with representatives from not only the telecom world, but also from the automotive industry, manufacturing companies, and Smart City planners. The possibilities are endless.
