EDITOR ’ S QUESTION

The fifth generation of mobile networks will run a triathlon and will cross all geographical and technological borders to deliver higher speed , lower latency and be more efficient .

5G is much more than a new generation of network , it is a huge leap towards future digitization in industries , cities and for consumers . There are three stages for its implementation and massification , we can compare it to a ‘ triathlon ’ that will take place in the next three to five years , each of the stages will deliver benefits and new characteristics for the daily lives of consumers and solutions in industries .
The first stage is the field test , in which the use of this network with users in controlled environments begins , providing better bandwidth , increased upload and download speeds , and is applied to smartphones as well as routers . This started in late 2019 and through 2020 and we continue to see it this year .
The second stage is its use by the population , a first step to the massification of the 5G network in many aspects of daily life and in some industries . Here we will see the development of the ‘ machine to machine ’, which in the market will be seen as IoT , especially important in industries , cities and smart manufacturing . We will see the beginning of the massification of these services in the industry later , towards 2023 – 2024 .
The last stage will be the massive adoption of the different services offered potentially by the 5G network , providing greater service availability . All the benefits mentioned above and a low connection latency will be reflected along with a very high reliability in the network , which helps to have applications such as autonomous vehicles , drones and industrial automation , among others .
There is no doubt that the smartphone will be the main protagonist of the route of this triathlon and of each advance that 5G technology will generate . That is why MediaTek , a world leader in the manufacture of processors for mobile devices , wireless networks , HDTV , DVD and Blu-ray drives the development of this technology with its new Dimensity 5G Chipset .
Our dedication to innovation has positioned us as a market driving force in several key technology areas , including energy-efficient mobile technologies , automotive solutions and a wide range of advanced multimedia products , such as smartphones , tablets , digital TVs , 5G , voice assistant devices ( VAD ) and
