The
world is several steps closer to the widespread implementation of 5G,
a technology that will impact customers as well as a broad range of
industries.
The
goal of 5G is to offer three main services:
- An enhanced mobile broadband
- Ultra-low latency
- Massive connectivity for machines
Here
are the industries that will be most affected by 5G:
- Smartphone industries
Most
of the manufacturers are expected to launch 5G smartphones in 2019.
Here’s where some of the major manufacturers stand on 5G
smartphones at this exact moment.
Samsung:
Samsung and Verizon have declared their idea to release a 5G
smartphone
in the first 6 months of 2019, though reports are clashed over
whether the device will be an S10.
Samsung
is emerging 5G modem the Exynos 5100 which is likely to be used for
international variants of the 5G smartphone. But will Samsung’s
folding, dual-screen Samsung smartphone also include 5G? Cross
fingered.
OnePlus:
At the Qualcomm 4G/5G summit in Hong Kong, OnePlus
co-founder Carl Pei confirmed that they will be ready to introduce a
5G smartphone by the end of 2019. But this phone won’t be the
OnePlus 7. Instead, it will be part of a new edition version of the
OnePlus 6T or 7.
Google:
Google hasn’t announced any 5G but Verizon has. Verizon has been
Google’s choice of carrier partner for several years and they’re
planning to roll 5G services out in early 2019 – which open the
door for the Pixel 4 to adopt 5G capabilities. October 2019 would
match the Pixel’s launch schedule
Apple:
According to rumors, Apple
is expected to wait until 2020 to release a 5G smartphone, The
Company prefers to integrate cellular technologies when they feel
able to deliver a smooth user experience. It seems that 2019 will
only be the start of a long and evolving 5G revolution.
- Manufacturing
5G
is poised to help manufacturing production operations become more
flexible and efficient, while also improving safety and lowering
maintenance costs.
- Energy and Utilities
Infrastructure
like energy and utilities will profit from 5G technologies, which
could create more innovative solutions in energy production,
transmission, distribution, and usage, as well as the next wave of
smart grid features and efficiency.
- Retail
More
than 100 million Americans made a purchase on their smartphone
in 2018, the report noted, and the move to mobile shopping is largely
due to the rise of 4G/LTE. The faster speeds 5G will bring will
enable new retail experiences like virtual reality (VR) dressing
rooms.
- Financial Services
5G
will accelerated the digitization of financial institutions,
including from internal operations to customer service, the report
said. Increased security and speed will allow users to increasingly
make transactions instantly on their devices, and make remote tellers
a possibility.
- Media and Entertainment
5G
will brings new opportunities in mobile media, mobile advertising,
home broadband, and TV, as well as interactive technologies like VR
and augmented reality (AR).
- Healthcare
In
the healthcare industry, 5G could increase efficiencies and revenue,
helping health systems create faster, more efficient networks to keep
up with the large amounts of data involved. The technology could also
enable the use of remote monitoring devices to improve health
outcomes.
- Transportation
Transportation
systems ranging from public buses to private logistic fleets will
gain increased visibility and control thanks to 5G, the report said.
5G will allow improved vehicle-to-vehicle communications, enabling
more self-driving car testing. These networks will also help cities
gain access to more data around their transportation systems.
- AR/VR
The
upcoming days of AR and VR depends on trustworthy 5G networks,
according to the report. These technologies require a less expensive,
wider network with lower latency to continue developing and reaching
widespread adoption, as they require massive amounts of data
processing.
- Insurance
5G
will help insurance agents make more effective decisions, as they
will have access to more accurate data, the report said.
