5G brings a significant leap forward in capacity and performance over 4G and will launch us into the age of “everything connected,” with IoT, connected cars, virtual reality, automated factories and more. However, these applications don’t tolerate delay – they are low latency and bandwidth-hungry.
The growth in the number of connected devices will be significant. According to the Ericsson Internet of Things Forecast, around 29 billion connected devices are forecast by 2022, and about 18 billion of those will be related to IoT.
