According to Qualcomm , by 2035 , 5G will support the production of up to £ 9.3 trillion worth of goods and services . Andreas Sila , Market Manager Data Centre of Swiss telco company , HUBER + SUHNER , says Communication Service Providers must invest in their 5G infrastructure to deliver a faster and more reliable network .
Companies need to prepare for 5G
Unprecedented levels of productivity ,
cost savings and new experiences are the promises of 5G that have been long anticipated to revolutionise the way people , businesses and our modern economy thrives . New network use cases such as connected cars , Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), Virtual Reality ( VR ), Augmented Reality ( AR ) and the explosion of billions of Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices are building an ecosystem of entirely new possibilities with the support of 5G . By 2035 , 5G will support the production of up to £ 9.3 trillion worth of goods and services , according to Qualcomm .
As Communication Service Providers ( CSPs ) grow their revenue streams through 5G , they could address US $ 700 billion of 5G-enabled business-to-business value by 2030 , says Ericsson . To achieve this , CSPs must invest in their 5G infrastructure to deliver a faster , more reliable network that provides lower latency 5G connectivity .
The 5G promise
Currently , networks face a multitude of challenges as the potential for 5G continues to expand with more new use cases , applications and devices evolving as 5G is realised . With the first 5G networks already being deployed , there is close attention on the technologies and its capabilities to deliver high-performing 5G connectivity to increasing numbers of applications .
Increased reliability , faster speeds and lower latency are the 5G performance promises which must be delivered to enable connected cars and IoT devices to perform . This cannot be made possible without a network infrastructure that can handle the increasing pressure of more devices and more data – without compromising on availability , speed and capacity .
As 5G infrastructure is deployed and endusers demand more connectivity , there is the challenge to manage increasing demands for data . Integral to this infrastructure are more than 7,500 data centres worldwide which process more than 1.7 megabytes of new data every second . With volumes of data constantly increasing ,
