Abstract
Unlike 4G LTE and its predecessor technologies, 5G evolution comprises of many other advanced use cases apart from conventional mobile broadband. With the introduction of 5G technology, networks will incrementally evolve to higher throughput and low latency. To assist such high capacity datarate, reliability and low latency, microwave back haul is a viable solution. With 5G rollout it is expected that E bands usage will continue to grow. Since 5G incorporates microwave bands, it is also expected that the microwave spectrum for fixed wireless network will go through a major transformation.
