Abstract
In this article we review the background to the growth and increased interest in ‘shared’ spectrum mobile/wireless networks, considering factors around spectrum availability and licensing, Radio Frequency (RF) bands that are available, and the advent of Software Defined Radio (SDR) deployments enabled by multichannel devices sampling at RF (multiGHz) rates. The article will present our recent experience of building private 5G standalone networks for a number of emerging use cases, and demonstrate scenarios where shared spectrum approaches have helped to solve problems that unlicensed (Wi-Fi), or licensed (the mobile network operators, MNOs) systems have difficulty providing the required Quality of Service (QoS).
