December 3, 2019 The much anticipated 5G network is expected to unlock new business opportunities across all industries by enhancing wireless connectivity, improving speed and providing opportunities for IoT, cloud computing, big data and more. At the same time, organizations will be presented with a unique opportunity. By supporting customers through innovative capabilities and telecom 5G use cases, 5G will revolutionize industry developments like never before.
Let’s take a look.
5G Opening Doors
Fifth-generation networks promise big improvements in wireless networks, including lightning-fast speed, super low latency, and the ability to carry large numbers of connections at the same time. All of these benefits are empowering businesses of all sizes to transform operations, but for some, up-front commitments can pose a roadblock.
According to a McKinsey 5G survey, many enterprises have made progress toward developing their technology and pilot strategies, however, few have moved beyond the early stages of developing a business case or commercial strategy.
Although 5G will require new infrastructure, long-term returns on investment are promising. By taking advantage of all the benefits, 5G will open doors to better serve customers across multiple industries. Connectivity will be essential to stay ahead of the competition. Businesses that upgrade to 5G-ready technology will be in a better position within their industry and will become trusted business partners for customers.
