Increasing consumer demand for data and connectivity, demand for faster internet speeds and capacity
Carriers looking to reduce costs across board, partnership with new market entrants such as Tillman (more cost effective tower leasing models)
Network densification, advancements such as 5G, IoT, Smart Cities, etc.
Fiber – demand for Ethernet services in business segment, broadband expansion
Current administration favors less regulation – affects M&A, spectrum, broadband expansion
• Regulations that reduce state and local infrastructure permitting hurdles are a key driver to 5G success. States that have already started to evaluate their policies toencourage 5G technologies will be the first to see significant economic and consumer benefits.

Transportation Enabled by 5G
• Transportation solves cities’ toughest problems
• Telecommunications and the automotive industries merge, yielding new levels of automotive connectivity and carrier involvement
• 5G helps create a new mobility centered on vehicle-to-everything connectivity and data exchange
• City transit managers use real-time traffic data to reduce delays by 20%
• Roadway safety improves through 5G’s low-latency and position accuracy
• Fewer cars on the road decreases traffic and air pollution
• New business models for Connected, Autonomous Vehicles and Transportation-as-a-Service have emerged

Carriers Lead 5G Transformation in Industries
With 5G-connected transportation, carriers could…
• Establish new ways to use intermodal transportation
• Enable fleet management services
• Process and distribute data from sensors that automakers install in autonomous vehicles to track vehicle maintenance and break-down status
• Invest in vehicle/infrastructure connectivity solutions to meet mobility use cases and ensure security and effective vehicle-to-everything communications.
Carriers that expand their roles across industry value chains could see notable gains. With a centralized leadership position, carriers could see 36% revenue growth globally by 2026 by operating as network providers, service enablers, and innovative service providers.
Massive MIMO
• Groups ~100 antennas sending and receiving data on the same spectrum
• Utilizes beamforming to reduce interference from multiple antennae
• Recently, Sprint declared Massive MIMO added to existing towers as it’s “secret weapon” for deploying 5G

Technology Description
Black & Veatch Capabilities
• Designed and/or constructed approximately 25% of the United States communication infrastructure
• Deployed over 150,000 wireless sites
• Developed partnerships and performed work for all major U.S. wireless carriers
• Services include project management, site acquisition, A&E, Environmental, Procurement, Construction and Construction Management.
High Frequency Spectrum
• Typical mobile spectrum (≤6 gigahertz – GHz) is crowded
• Carriers are eyeing millimeter waves to ease spectrum crunch but this technology is limited by distance and obstacles including rain and foliage
• To sidestep these limitations, 5G network design can include small cells, Massive MIMO, and coding algorithms to strengthen and focus signals.

Technology Description
Small Cells
• High-frequency spectrum makes small cells a central technology to 5G
• mmWaves will rely on a dense small cell network at the neighborhood level to relay signal around obstacles
• 40% of surveyed carriers plan to deploy between 100-350 small cells per square kilometer to densify their networks for 5G, compared to the typical 2-5 sites to support 4G.
• Ready for 5G?
10
Technology Description
Edge Computing
• Paired with small cells, edge computing will create a distributed cloud network that processes data at the source
• Reduces backload with edge processing, enables context awareness, low-latency, and data analytics capabilities to support 5G use cases
• 62% of carriers will deploy edge computing by 2022

Fiber Optic Networks
• 5G will require fiber optic to the scale of hundreds of thousands—perhaps millions—of miles
• Fiber optics’ limitless bandwidth is critical to support small cell densification, push computing to the edge, and increase connectivity
• An estimated nearly 1.4 million miles of fiber cable will be needed to fully deploy 5G services (with small cell connections) to the top 25 US metropolitan areas.
