Deployment Considerations & Limitations

Wireless technology has inherent constraints that must be factored into project planning.

RF Propagation Boundaries

5G NR mmWave (FR2) signals attenuate significantly beyond 200-300 meters in outdoor environments and do not penetrate concrete or metal structures. Sub-6 GHz (FR1) provides better penetration but lower peak throughput. Dense urban deployments may require cell spacing of 100-250 meters for mmWave coverage continuity.

Environmental Operating Limits

Standard wireless modules operate within -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Deployments in extreme industrial environments (foundries, cryogenic facilities) require specialized enclosures. Humidity above 95% RH may degrade antenna performance over extended periods without IP67-rated housing.

Spectrum Licensing & Regulatory

Private 5G network deployments require spectrum allocation that varies by jurisdiction — CBRS (3.5 GHz) in the US, local licensing in Germany (3.7-3.8 GHz), or shared spectrum models in Japan. Regulatory approval timelines range from 4-16 weeks depending on the region, which must be incorporated into project schedules.
