Spectral Efficiency and NTN Integration: Advanced MIMO techniques and Non-Terrestrial Network support extend high-performance 5G to underserved regions, achieving uplink speeds exceeding 500 Mbps and enabling satellite-based coverage.
'The transition to 5G-Advanced unlocks transformative potential across industries—supporting digital twin applications, private networks, and AI-driven automation for enterprises and governments alike,' said Andrea Brambilla, Head of RAN Evolution, Device Partnership at Nokia and group co-leader of the white paper.
'By building on 5G Standalone, we're not just enhancing today's capabilities—we're driving the full realization of 5G through 5G Advanced. With the nation's only 5G Advanced network, T-Mobile is setting the stage for a truly intelligent, sustainable, and nationwide 6G ecosystem,' added Pei Hou, Principal Technology Development Strategist at T-Mobile, and white paper group co-lead.
The paper also outlines the strategic implications for operators, enterprises, and policymakers. With AI, automation, and energy efficiency at its core, 5G-Advanced forms a scalable platform for future monetization and digital innovation. Regulatory recommendations emphasize the need for updated policies on AI governance, spectrum sharing, NTN licensing, and global harmonization of IoT standards.
