Pioneering in-building 5G: Spectrum and architecture

In this Sparring Partners Monica Paolini, Senza Fili, talked with Shirish Nagaraj and Art King, Corning, about what they are learning from deploying 5G in the enterprise and large venues.

These are some of the questions we addressed:

• What’s the best way to connect people and things indoors with 5G? 
• What is the best way to deploy in-building networks in enterprises and venues? 
• What bands work best: MmWave, CBRS, sub-6 GHz? 
• How do you architect 5G in-building networks? 
• What role can Open RAN, virtualization, DAS, and edge computing have? 
• Who will pay, build and operate in-building 5G?
