5G, CBRS and Indoor Coverage: Mobile Starts to Resemble Fixed



Mobile networks architecturally are different from fixed networks. A mobile network is supposed to provider coverage outdoors and indoors. A fixed network is supposed to provide connectivity to the side of a building, with indoor coverage being a private network (Wi-Fi for indoor distribution).
