|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spectrum Use | Sharing + using higher frequencies | Millimeter Wave (mmWave); Ultra-Wideband; Massive MIMO | Developing and making larger swaths of government-controlled frequencies available for shared use. | U.S. Government (e.g., FCC, NTIA) + Civilian and Commercial Users + Trade Groups |
| Network Management | Artificial Intelligence (A-I) + Cloud-Based Subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) Improvement | Software Systems | Software that uses A-I, including OpenRAN and energy-efficient “Green” technologies, etc. | Preseem (Aterlo), DISH Network/EchoStar/Boost, Netgear, Ruckus |
| Hardware + Software Implementation | Holographic Beamforming + Phased Array Antennas | Antenna Development | Creations to increase network efficiency and connectivity, e.g., holographic beamforming, phased array antennas. | Cambium, Qualcomm, Sierra Wireless, Atmosic, InnoPhase, Wiliot, Tarana, Siklu, Plume, Google Nest |
| Small Cell Networks | Micro-cellular | Portable Cell Towers; “Street Furniture” (e.g., lampposts) | Includes microcell cloud operating innovations. | Nokia, Qualcomm, Airpsan, Commscope, Celona, Crown Castle, Alpha Wireless, Qucell Networks |
| Integrated (or Hybrid) Networks | FWA and Fiber + Satellite and 5G | Ground and Space + Fiber and FWA Infrastructures | Strong fiber backhaul plus FWA for remote or cost-prohibitive areas. | Most WISPA operators and their vendors |
| “What’s Truly New?” Technology | To Be Developed (TBD) | A-I and TBD | Innovations extending capacity, improving robustness, or circumventing physical obstacles. | Alphabet’s X (Taara), Project Kuiper, SpaceX, 6G, Wi-Fi 7, 8G + 10G Research, Quantum Tech |
