Investing in 5G – A US Investment Guide and Marketing / Technical Report


This report is unique among 5G reports – it is specifically focused on the investor and/or the investor advisor. Questions like the following are answered:
  • I don’t understand 5G; can you explain it to me?
  • How is 5G different from what we now have? Why change?
  • How do I invest in 5G services?
  • What companies are involved?
  • Do I want to invest in 5G?
  • Are some companies better targets than others?
  • What is different about 5G anyway?
  • Why are the carriers all pushing 5G so hard?
  • Who is going to benefit from 5G?
These questions and others concerning the technical and marketing aspects of 5G services are answered in this report. Some of the questions about investment have to be answered in the context of particular investor’s circumstances, but this report will provide the data to intelligently make those decisions. In addition, all of the normally expected technical/marketing information points (architecture, forecasts, deployment scenarios, etc.) are included in this massive (nearly 100 figures and well over 130 pages) report.
