Leading vendors are offering innovative products to enhance network speed, coverage, and efficiency.

What is a 5G NR Network?

As defined in 3GPP TS 38.300, the 5G NR network consists of NG RAN (Next Generation Radio Access Network) and 5GC (5G Core Network). As shown, NG-RAN is composed of gNBs (i.e., 5G Base stations) and ng-eNBs (i.e., LTE base stations). The figure above depicts the overall architecture of a 5G NR system and its components.

What is a 5G radio access network?

The 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is the interface between user devices and the 5G core network. It comprises base stations and small cells that manage radio communications, enabling ultra-fast data transfer and low-latency connections.

What is a 5G base station?

5G base stations operate on various frequency bands, including sub-6 GHz and mmWave, to deliver ultra-low latency, high data throughput, and enhanced capacity. They support massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, enabling improved coverage and simultaneous connections for a large number of devices.

What is Datang Telecom Group?

• Datang Telecom Group, also known as CATT (i.e. China Academy of Telecommunications Technology) is as key contributor to 5G technology standardization. • The company offers complete 5G Radio System which is used to build 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) to make 5G frequency waves available for 5G users.

What is a 5G core?

The 5G core is the central component of the 5G network, responsible for managing data traffic, mobility, and network services. It employs a cloud-native, service-based architecture that ensures flexibility and scalability for diverse use cases.
