The new 3GPP New Radio standard (NR) has been designed with deployment flexibility in mind to enable high-rate mobile broadband services as well as massive and ultra-low latency machine type communications for verticals. In this paper, we discuss the challenges and potential solutions to provide full surface coverage based on main-stream terrestrial cellular 3GPP technology to enable all use-cases. New 3GPP based solutions for improving coverage e.g. using 5G for self-backhauling, resource sharing, and protocol parameters are discussed. The paper includes results on the impact of selected link-budget improvements on cellular coverage under given capacity assumptions. It is shown that long-range systems with enough capacity are feasible with inter-site distances of 65 km with 5G on mid-band (3.5 GHz) notably reducing total cost of ownership.
