While 5G is starting to be deployed in 2019, a lot of people are asking questions about how 5G will be realized.
CLICK TO TWEET: Martin Zimmerman answers the question if 5G equals massive MIMO.
One question they are asking is whether 5G deployments will exclusively use massive MIMO antennas or whether massive MIMO is just one of many tools that might be used for 5G.
In the video below, I discuss some of the reasons why massive MIMO is not always the best way to implement 5G in the network. Feel free to leave me a comment below with any questions you may have.
