Telecommunications companies that will empower new types and faster These factors present an opportunity to formĪ critical bridge in the route to smart cities – partnerships with To spread 5G effectively, and this will require not only additional power, butĪlso fibre backhaul connectivity. Estimates from CharterĬommunications envisage over 800,000 new small cells will be required by 2025 Infrastructure, as well as a strong fibre network. Than ever before: – from new signal towers to additions to existing Will require a lot more communication infrastructure, closer to the power user, Speeds, the spectrum has a shorter range than preceding technologies – and that While 5G can carry much more data at significantly higher Technology and use it to their advantage. – from the advent of 5G, in how they can both proliferate the future of the Utilities are set to benefit the most – even more than the manufacturing sector Take position as pioneers of the new technology that will drive our collectiveįuture, ahead of policy, ahead of regulation – but the benefits massivelyĪccording to a recent paper by software firm Intellias, Utilities are being called upon to take a central role, to 5G is expected to be 100-times faster, with one-fifth of the latency of 4G., and the opportunity for new capacities in human innovation and quality of life – from smart homes within smart cities managed by an artificially-intelligent, optimised, renewables and storage-powered grid, to autonomous public and private transportation charged at optimal times and rates to ensure levels of demand management – are seemingly endless, and only ever dreamt of before.įor the consumer, it means a life of convenience, ease, the assured reliability of power, a sustainable environment, of quality healthcare resulting from remote surgery, health monitoring and lifestyle management, to optimised, ergonomic working conditions and housing that’s attuned to the need for decarbonisation and climate sustainability.įor industry, it means the seamless integration of independent capacity with seamless, high-intensity data-sharing and process optimisation thanks to AI, machine learning and sustainability. ![]() To be the most rapidly-adopted technology of its kind in history.

Ever since the term came to prominence in the mid-2000s, 5G has held the promise of so much more than its predecessors.
