Hi Voornaam


As latest quarterly results roll in, it seems pretty obvious to a number of market observers that there has been a 5G led turnaround in the fortunes of a number of tech companies playing in that space, with many beating market expectations. What's more most are boldly predicting that the best is yet to come in 2021 and beyond.

Australia, with its mid-band rollout already underway has announced time frames for its mmWave and low-band rollouts next year.

Brazilian telcos, unlike fellow BRICS member India, has told the US where to get off after the latter tried to tell them to give Huawei the boot from their 5G rollouts.

Worried about new 5G base stations saturating your neighbourhood? Maybe you don't need to be with an alliance between two UK companies who have developed new 5G flying base station drones that could soon be deployed at a fraction of the cost and with greater coverage than ground installations.

As usual there are a heap more stories you can tune into below or on wirefreez.com.
