5G Emerging as a Transformative Technology, 5G Americas Says

The launch of 5G will mean “a new era of technology innovation” transforming how people live and how things interact, 5G Americas said in a new white paper. “The flexible capabilities of 5G enable a wide range of business models, including fixed-wireless access, enhanced mobile broadband, and IoT support,” the group said. “The innovative 5G technical standard provides the specifications for harnessing new millimeter Wave spectrum that has never before been used for cellular technology communications.” The paper, “5G: The Global Impact of Wireless Innovation,” was written by Rysavy Research. “Operators and vendors are collaboratively working towards efficient, faster, and higher-capacity networks for the realization of 5G,” said Chris Pearson, president of the trade group.
