Two words capture the difference between the existing generation of connectivity and the next: speed and latency. Fifth-generation wireless (5G) is projected to be almost one hundred times faster than our current iteration, massively reducing the delay between a given order and its execution.
Globally, carriers are funnelling hundreds of billions of dollars into developing the technology. Effective implementation will require a completely novel approach to network infrastructure, which will capitalize on new swaths of the electromagnetic radio spectrum.
