5G Enablers > Feed Summary

5G is the latest mobile telecommunication standard which is expected to commercialize by 2020. Its objectives include high spectrum efficiency, low latency, simultaneous data speed of 1Gbps to multiple users, wider coverage, and lower power consumption. Currently, the standard is in design and testing phase.

• Inclusions: Companies providing technologies that can enable the commercialization of 5G in the future. Include software and hardware solutions that automate, optimize the network (SON, MEC), and solutions that enable faster deployment and centralized control (SDN, NFV) of the network. Some of the companies are currently not providing the solutions directly to the telecom industry but have the technology that can be utilized in the commercialization of 5G in future.

• Exclusions: Excludes every other part of the Telecom value chain: infrastructure (equipment, software), operations (OSS/BSS, system integration), which is not related to the 5G standard. Also excludes large OEMs like Ericsson, Nokia Networks, Cisco etc which are adding these technologies in their product portfolio

• Excludes funding information of Chinese companies
