The revolutionary fifth generation wireless
technology (5G) offers endless applications
that can be summarised in three main uses.
The first use is enhanced mobile broadband
(eMBB), which can be considered a direct
extension and progression of the current 4G
LTE networks, offering faster connections,
higher throughput and more capacity.
The second use is Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency
Communications (URLCC), which means
a 5G network is reliable for mission critical
applications that requires uninterrupted
and robust data exchange. The third use
is Massive Machine-Type Communications
(mMTC), which will be enabled by 5G
networks to serve as an infrastructure and
an enabler for the new applications that are
expected to mature in the near future.
With the widespread use of smart devices,
the increasingly fast-paced direction
towards smart lifestyles, as well as the
lucrative opportunities presented by digital
services particularly in the profitable
business sector, mobile operators are
encouraged to reinforce their investments
in the telecom sector.
Reports and forecasts refer to the
huge potential that will be offered by
5G technology, as well as the many
opportunities it will offer for the various
industries, such as e-commerce, retail,
government transactions, energy, public
and safety facilities, healthcare, public
transportation, media, entertainment and
financial services. Furthermore, 5G services
will enhance essential services, and will
further push the telecom sector to a new
phase of growth.
5G technologies will offer ultimate access,
where people and smart devices within the
community will communicate with each
other in entirely new fashions. The flow of
information will be smooth and continuous,
while the highest degrees of coverage and
unlimited speeds will be possible with this
generation of networks.
The real value of digital information lies not
just within the information itself, but rather
in the new innovative services that can be
obtained from them. The nourishment of
digital economy will be possible, as well as
achieving positive change in manufacturing
methods, current lifestyles, and more. All
this will ultimately enhance the lives of
people for the better. n
