5G-ENABLED INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)

Many IoT applications are well supported by existing 3G and 4G cellular networks, including those employing LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies. 5G will further enhance these Mobile IoT networks.

As the technology matures, Massive IoT connectivity will become affordable and less complex, providing the foundation for energy-efficient smart services. Large-scale deployment of 5G will accelerate when IoT becomes embedded within enterprise and consumer applications, many of which are developed by small and medium-sized enterprises.

VALUE TO CONSUMERS

5G provides a variety of benefits that are not available with other technologies. This includes 5G’s flexibility to support a massive number of fixed and mobile IoT devices, which have a diverse range of speed, bandwidth, and QoS requirements.

As IoT evolves, this flexibility will become even more significant for enterprises. 5G will support critical communications with even more rigorous performance requirements. 5G’s ultra-reliability and low latency will help to make self-driving cars, smart energy grids, enhanced factory automation, and other advanced applications a reality.

OPERATOR STRATEGIES

Mobile operators aim to target small enterprises and consumer segments initially, and various verticals later. They look forward to taking full advantage of 5G enhancements, such as network slicing and 5G Core. These enhancements will ultimately help to realize the vision of a global IoT network, supporting a massive number of connected devices with diverse mobility and accessibility requirements.
