Frequently Asked Questions: 4G and 5G RAN Solutions

FAQs

Interested? Do you have questions? Check out some of the questions we’re most frequently asked to discover more. If you still can’t find what you are looking for, get in touch – and we’ll be glad to answer your query.

Can we upgrade from 4G to 5G?

Yes, we enable a smooth transition and upgrade from 4G to 5G, so that you can easily deploy advanced mobile broadband capability, as and when you are ready. You can use your WTL deployment to trial 5G alongside 4G and tune market offers while trialling new services.

We want to use O-RAN. Can you interconnect with third-party solutions?

Of course. Our 5G NR solutions offer the flexibility to interoperate with BBUs from other vendors, giving you the flexibility to mix and match. You can build out the RAN you need, from the vendors of your choice.

Do we need to use the WTL EPC or 5G cores?

No. You are free to choose our core network solutions or those from other vendors. So, you can deploy our 4G and 5G radios alongside existing infrastructure, or you can dedicate them to a new core of your choice.

Can we mix deployments so we can gradually add 5G to our network?

We enable you to deploy 5G radio at the pace of your choice, so you can deliver coverage where it’s needed, without disrupting existing deployments.

What frequency bands do WTL’s solutions support?

All globally licensed bands are supported by our solutions, allowing you to easily meet the terms of your license and to use the spectrum to which you have been allocated. Configuration is easy, so deployment times can be reduced.

Can we use WTL to build out private networks?

If you want to build dedicated infrastructure for NPNs – or private networks – you can use WTL end-to-end or mix solutions from different vendors to deliver networks that are separated from your national assets.
