Capable of near real-time data transfer speeds and reduced latency, 5G is expected to facilitate more and better IoT applications for intelligent building technologies over the next few years. Further, as 5G rollouts accelerate, 5G-enabled IoT applications are being introduced at an increasing rate, and therefore, the smart building market is taking off. However, new research shows that these structures, while undeniably intelligent, may also be at much greater risk of cyberattack than originally thought.
