NOTE
The fifth generation of wireless technology extends to mobility the powerful features of fiber: lightning-fast speed, incredibly low latency,
strong reliability and security with a huge number of simultaneous connections.
This disruptive technology opens a playground for new usages enabling wireless real-time communication between machines, real-time remote
control, multi-media transfer in ultra high definition with no latency, and broadband prioritization for critical usages.
Hence, 5G will be a game-changer for industrial players to be more competitive, as a key enabler for automation, remote operations and
control, real-time orchestration and security reinforcement.
5G will make each user experience unique by enabling new content creation, enhanced live broadcasting with no latency, live experience with
augmented and virtual reality, virtual reality gaming, to name a few.
The world around 5G is moving fast: many players, especially telecom operators and network equipment manufacturers, are involved in 5G
pilots, while a few operators have launched commercial services to enterprises and consumers.
