![]() Intel kicked things off with the debut of a range of chips designed for various parts of the 5G infrastructure chain. As with a number of 5G-related topics, some of this is directly because of the additional technical requirements that 5G demands, but another significant aspect is that the widespread move to software-defined networking (which is helping drive many of these changes) just happened to coincide with the development and deployment of 5G. With the roll-out of 5G, however, we’re starting to see some dramatic changes, not only in the technologies being used to power network infrastructure, but also in the companies that are starting to do some of the work. Additionally, as with many aspects of the telecom business, the details of network infrastructure equipment and how it works can be extraordinarily complicated, making it difficult, even for those who want to understand more, to make sense of network infrastructure and its effects on all of our devices. Companies like Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, and a few others are the biggest players here, and frankly, most of them (the notable exception being Huawei as of late) aren’t as closely followed as most other tech companies. Part of the reason for this is that, until very recently, most of the work to create the equipment-including the designing of the chips that run inside them-has been done by only a few vendors. ![]()
