What Defines Network Performance in 5G and Beyond? A CTO Perspective
RCR Wireless News, Tuesday, July 7th, 2026
ANDREW's Europe CTO on shifting from adding hardware to designing smarter, AI-integrated 5G networks.
Pedro Torres, CTO Europe at ANDREW (an Amphenol company), discusses how mobile networks are evolving.
ANDREW aims to enable high-performing, efficient networks everywhere, from stadiums to rural areas, spanning tower top to deep indoors via antennas, power solutions, and its ERA DAS platform.
Facing limited spectrum, site constraints, and energy-efficiency mandates, the industry must shift from adding hardware to designing smarter networks with AI.
Antenna evaluation now emphasizes system-level performance across efficiency, precision, and simplification. Operators should prioritize deployment simplicity, scalability, and sustainability while balancing current demands with future adaptability.
