Description

This Frost & Sullivan report delivers a comprehensive overview of the technologies and architectural components constituting the 5G transport network. This network serves as the critical backbone for enabling the high-speed, low-latency connectivity essential for unlocking the full potential of 5G services. The analysis explores a spectrum of both wired and wireless transport options currently deployed, including high-capacity fiber optics, versatile microwave links, and other emerging wireless backhaul solutions. Furthermore, it examines the design choices and architectural tradeoffs within the 5G radio access network, such as the move toward virtualized and open architectures, which directly dictate the stringent performance requirements for the transport network's fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul segments. The report discusses the suitability of these options for supporting next-generation innovation, evaluating key metrics like bandwidth capacity, synchronization, scalability, and deployment flexibility across diverse use cases. Finally, the analysis identifies key growth opportunities within the 5G transport domain, supported by market spending forecasts and investment trends that illuminate the evolving landscape of infrastructure development.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
