Recorded: 25th April The recording of the Beamforming and Massive MIMO - Enabling 5G webinar  is now available on Wray Castle Connect (Free Membership Required), you can view the recording here. 5G enables access to higher frequency spectrum than previous generations. In order to efficiently use that high frequency spectrum [and put very simply], antenna size needs to be smaller, and we need to use more of them. This in turn means that massive antenna arrays are a key component of 5G deployment - where lots of antennas are used in a very organised way to focus energy and drive...
