WHAT'S NON-CELLULAR 5G?

NR+

Cellular connectivity

SPECTRUM

NR+

Dedicated and harmonized license-exempt spectrum.

Cellular connectivity

Licensed spectrum, owned and operated by mobile network operators.

DATA TRANSMISSION AND RANGE

NR+

Optimized for low data rate applications, such as transmitting meter readings and other small data packets. Offers long singlehop radio range.

Cellular connectivity

Offers higher data transmission rates as originally designed for data-intensive applications such as voice or video. Offers long singlehop radio range.

COVERAGE AND SCALE

NR+

Highly scalable. Purpose-built for massive deployments. Every new device can extend coverage through mesh networking. Excels in dense city areas.

Cellular connectivity

Can support large numbers of devices but is prone to congestion in dense areas. Coverage may be limited. Requires special infrastructure to overcome black spots e.g. deep underground deployment. Sunset risks.

RELIABILITY

NR+

Ultra-reliable and robust, due to mesh topology and self-healing capabilities.

Cellular connectivity

May experience network congestion, signal interference and maintenance issues.
