MmWave 5G Creating ‘Completely New Use Cases’: Qualcomm

The future of 5G spells growth “way beyond the smartphone," blogged Alex Katouzian, Qualcomm Technologies senior vice president-general manager. “Widespread 5G deployment is accelerating into numerous industries, sectors, and governments, serving to quickly and efficiently connect organizations to every aspect of their business,” said Katouzian. “Ultra-fast” millimeter-wave 5G “is creating completely new use cases” for technologies like “connected intelligent edge” for immersive extended reality and “powerful AI through distributed computing,” he said. Rather than just being a “personal connectivity” technology, 5G is “fueling digital transformations around the world,” he said. It’s connecting people to their homes and cars, “businesses to their supply chains, robotics, and security, and cities to their transportation and infrastructure systems,” he said.
