Amplifying Mobile Experiences with 5G

With 5G deployments underway, many people have questions about 5G applications and use cases, and what connected life will be like after the roll-out. The fact is, 5G will be transformational. It will enable many new applications that are not viable today, particularly in urban areas and cities. This is relevant, because according to the UN, over two thirds of the world’s population will live in an urban area or city by 2050.

Once a technology only associated with video gaming, virtual reality has entered new markets to deliver benefits and experiences that have never been seen before.

At most factories and industrial sites worldwide, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has not yet become a reality. Smart manufacturing depends on reliable high-speed connectivity, and most factories are still using industrial Ethernet and legacy wireless technology based on Wi-Fi, which has limited capabilities. Today, Ethernet (Class C) is the only technology that allows ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC).

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is embraced across industry verticals with a growing number of connected devices, the connectivity technology landscape remains complex and fragmented. There is no single IoT network that has ubiquitous coverage and is capable of addressing all vertical IoT use cases.

Mobile IoT networks, NB-IoT and LTE-M, have been accepted as 5G standards and are in route to joining the 5G core network to offer increased network capacity to host large IoT deployments.
