While many manufacturers are looking ahead to self-
driving cars enabled by 5G, they consider self-driving
systems a less immediate priority. Instead, enhanced
GPS with instant traffic and map updates is
the most favored use case for 5G globally, by 67% of
respondents.
The connected car is
the next big thing

5G will enable both battery-
dependent devices to have a long
lifespan—10 years or more—as
well as fast, reliable
communication. This advancement
will make it possible to have
massive deployment of sensors in
a smart and cost-efficient way.
costs, secure
facilities
Expect examples like leak detectors on a
pipeline in the near future. Utilities are also
interested in using robotics connected by
5G in dangerous or remote places

Nearly all of the public safety executives
surveyed say that their organizations are
investing to take advantage of these
technologies to create operational value for
citizens (96%) and for operational efficiency
(90%).

The healthcare industry foresees the
adoption of remote house calls with
diagnosis via video and video push for
patient tutorials. Virtual reality could
revolutionize medical training while
haptic control gives physicians the “feel”
of a patient’s body during remote
examinations or even remote surgery.
Making remote medical care a
reality
5G promises to make remote
medical care a reality—and to
be a change agent for the future
of the industry.

The higher capacity of 5G will put media
and gaming companies on track to adopt
4K streaming and even virtual reality to
mobile devices. Truly immersive
experiences from live concerts and
sporting events will become common. A
significant majority of executives
surveyed point to live personal 3D
broadcasting and fixed wireless
broadband as additional developments
expected from 5G.
5G will bring truly immersive
experience
