and subscriber needs

***Publicly announced


March 2018: 5G RuralFirst: Parallel Wireless 5G Deployment

•  5G UK initiative funded by the UK government and led by Cisco

•  Cisco Press Release •  Key Points:

–  A consortium of over 29 partners –  Focus on providing connectivity to

consumers, enterprises, businesses and to enable innovative use cases

–  PW Unified architecture across all Gs allows 4G network investment to be extended for 5G

•  Sw upgradability to 5G •  Disaggregation of hw and sw
