Overview
Network optimization engineers generally do not work directly with hardware, but it is necessary to understand the components of a site. A typical 4G site consists of the following parts:
Differences for 5G
5G uses massive MIMO technology, so its composition differs slightly from 4G:
Terminology
SITE is the general term for a base station or site.
RAN (Radio Access Network) is the radio access network, an important part of the network architecture consisting of base stations.
How 5G Base Stations Are Installed
So, how are 5G base stations installed?
