Strategies to enable operators to overcome the economic challenges of a long 5G deployment

Operators are facing long 5G deployment cycles due to the scale of their roll-outs, the complexity of 5G technology and geopolitical issues. This is resulting in multi-phased deployments for many and a potential increase in capex. Operators should consider how to increase the efficiency of each single phase of their deployments, while maximising asset value.
