“ A lot of people think technology makes your job longer … but I think it shortens the day , and shortens the project , because you ’ re not having to wait for answers ”

all fully autonomous driving networks , which will further support automated O & M , deliver premium experiences , and minimise carbon footprints . Future radios will also be designed with native intelligence , and smart radio algorithms will further optimize the management of channel coding and radio resource . driving and drone management . Both radio interfaces and network architectures will need to be similarly integrated and sensing resolution technology will need to advance to the centimetre level using ultrawideband with Massive MIMO to achieve these functions .
Trend 5 : Intelligence in Every Industry and Connection Wireless networks will become fully integrated with AI technologies to enable
Trend 6 : Full-Link and Full- Lifecycle Green Networks As network traffic grows 100 times over in the next few years , there will be an equal spike in demand for solutions that reduce network energy consumption . Per-bit energy efficiency will also need to improve at a similar rate . Energy efficiency must be considered in every aspect of network design , including radio interfaces , devices , and sites . This will enable the construction of these full-link and full-lifecycle green and sustainable networks .
Trend 7 : Flexible Full-Band Sub-100 GHz By 2030 , nations will need an average of 2 GHz mid-band bandwidth and over 20 GHz of bandwidths on millimetre wave to accommodate growing traffic . The industry will need to facilitate the evolution of sub-100 GHz spectrum to NR and redefine
