As the UK government’s ambitious 4G-enabled Emergency Services Network (ESN) faces icy progress, reports suggest potential delays until 2029 and rising costs from the initial $5 billion to over £11 billion. Observers slam the lack of a solid implementation plan, leading to ineffectual spending. Although originally planned to replace the Airwave network by 2019, the slow-paced development has compelled emergency services to incur unnecessary expenses. Further complications arise as Motorola, initially tasked with developing the ESN, withdraws from the project. As the quest for a reliable new supplier begins, it’s clear that these developments will continue to captivate telecoms industry watchers.

Breaking speed boundaries, Ericsson and MediaTek recently achieved an impressive 565 Mbps upload speed within the consumer 5G sector, sparking excitement about the potential of fixed-wireless access (FWA). This feat was made possible through the integration of two of Ericsson’s software features and MediaTek’s T830 chipset for 5G FWA routers. The growing importance of upload speed on multiple applications including online gaming, video streaming, and cloud storage is nudging broadband consumers into creators, underscoring the significance of this development.

Despite robust projections for 5G growth, the radio access network (RAN) equipment market experiences a downturn, according to Dell’Oro Group. A typical industry cycle shows that after the booming initial rollout of new mobile tech, stagnation follows as operators complete their spending cycles. However, 5G RAN could still expand by 20%-30% by 2027, failing to offset decreasing LTE investments. As telecom industry anticipates the inception of 6G, dwindling subscriber growth and restrained capital expenditures, due to economic considerations, are putting pressure on the market.
