We keep saying this, but it’s true. 5G will provide immense technological benefits – data rates of over 10 Gbps, latencies of up to 1 millisecond and much higher reliability compared to previous mobile technologies. Then there’s Network Slicing, which allows the physical 5G network to be split into different virtual networks to suit specific applications or customers.
These are impressive abilities that offer endless possibilities, but which applications will ultimately be commercially successful? If we look back to the beginning of 3G, there was also a positive mood at the time, but UMTS ultimately failed to reach the high expectations.
