It also assesses 5G smart antenna support of IoT solutions, providing forecasts for applications and services. The report includes revenue forecasts as well as projected smart antenna shipments from 2021 to 2026.

Select Report Findings:

• The market for 5G smart antennas in IoT will reach $7.1B by 2026
• 5G will provide continuous mobility largely within only metropolitan areas
• Multiple Input Multiple Output smart antennas represent the fastest-growing type
• In addition to network optimization, smart antennas reduce energy needs and other resources
• 5G antennas will be an absolute requirement to support the smart cities market and related services
• In terms of frequency ranges, FR1 will lead through 2026, but FR2 is growing nearly three times as fast at CAGR of 37.7%

Smart antenna arrays use Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO) at both the source (transmitter) and the destination (receiver) to improve signal quality. This is in contrast to non-array systems in which a single antenna (and signal path) is used at the source and the destination. The market for smart antennas is nothing new as they provide efficient coverage for 2G, 3G, and LTE. However, 5G smart antennas will be necessary to provide mobility support for many new and enhanced apps and services such as virtual reality, self-driving cars, connected vehicles, and voice over 5G.

Smart antennas will improve 5G coverage and optimize capacity by focusing RF signals where they are needed the most. In addition, smart antennas enhance 5G application and service mobility by facilitating a more continuous connection, which may become particularly useful at 5G coverage seams. Otherwise, a 5G enabled user experience may degrade as hand-over from 5G to LTE occurs.

5G cellular networks promise to improve many aspects of wireless communications, supporting enhanced mobile services, greater scalability for IoT systems, and ultra-reliable communications for mission-critical applications. A portion of these benefits will be based on the evolution of 4G LTE technologies as well as unique capabilities enabled by 5G New Radio (5GNR), based on new infrastructure supporting millimeter wave (mmWave) RAN equipment.

5GNR especially needs smart antennas, because it utilizes mmWave RF propagation. 5GNR involves a much lower wavelength (millimeter as compared to centimeter to a meter for LTE) and therefore a higher frequency. Physics dictates that higher frequencies need more power and/or more coverage as an RF signal fades more than a lower frequency signal. This is why there will need to be at least an order of magnitude more antennas than required for LTE. Putting this into perspective, the US will go from roughly 30,000 antennas to 300,000 or more nationally.

5G antennas will be found virtually everywhere in metropolitan areas, but it will not be enough. While dramatically increased coverage will surely support many early 5G applications, such as fixed wireless (ISP alternative, backhaul, and fronthaul), Mind Commerce research indicates that many antennas will not be enough to support continuous 5G mobility coverage. Smarter antennas will be vitally important for certain applications such as self-driving cars and connected vehicle services that often require high bandwidth on-demand.

5G smart antennas will be needed to concentrate RF signals where they are needed most through a technology known as beamforming, which focuses a narrow beam to exactly where it is needed rather than emanating the same energy in a broad area. Beamforming is especially useful for 5GNR as the higher frequency mmWave RF is subject to fading over distance and attenuation loss caused by hitting objects (buildings, cars, foliage, etc.).
