As FWA expands into urban markets, it increasingly shares spectrum with 5G mobile systems, raising the risk of co-channel interference that erodes performance in dense deployments. The article highlights how sectorization, precision beam shaping, and emerging beam switching techniques can reduce overlap and preserve capacity as operators scale FWA and mobile in the same bands.

GSMA modelling shows many major cities could face mid-band capacity constraints by 2030 without new spectrum. As 6G-era traffic grows, driven by AI workloads and heavy-user normalization, the report points to a need for 2-3 GHz of additional mid-band globally. With densification hitting limits, long-term planning around MRSS and upper 6 GHz becomes central to 6G readiness.

5G SA momentum is accelerating as more operators move from proofs of concept to commercial network slicing. Global 5G subscriptions are set to hit 2.9 billion this year, with traffic share rising and FWA on track to serve over 1.2 billion people by 2031. The shift toward differentiated experiences is becoming a defining feature of the next wave of mobile.

Nokia is restructuring and plans to sell its enterprise campus edge unit, leading some to assume it was backing away from private 5G. The company says the opposite: it will keep supplying radios and core platforms while leaning more on CSP and SI channels. Hardware remains the core of its private wireless revenue.

Enterprise networks are hitting a wall: skyrocketing demand, shrinking engineering teams, and legacy systems that can’t adapt in real time. The next era is autonomous networking. Full-stack control, clean telemetry, and real-time learning will shift ops from reactive to self-optimizing, freeing engineers to focus on strategy instead of firefighting.
