5G adoption is happening faster than any previous cellular technology. In spite – and because – of challenging economic periods such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 5G deployments have been ramping up and will become the mainstream cellular technology in the near future, with 60 percent of 5G connections expected to be in Asia alone.
For enterprises, 5G will power Industry 4.0 enablers as well as a global connectivity layer for smart devices and vehicles. Meanwhile, consumers can look forward to services such as high-speed mobile and fixed-wireless access to cloud gaming, HD video as well as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and Mixed Reality applications.
