5G is used across three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the massive machine communications.
A defining capability of 5G is that it is designed for forward compatibility the ability to flexibly support future services that are unknown today.
Enhanced mobile broadband:
In addition to making our smartphones better, 5G mobile technology can provide new experiences as Virtual reality and Augmented reality with faster, more uniform data rates, lower latency, and lower cost-per-bit.
Mission-critical communications:
5G can enable new services that can transform industries with ultra-reliable, available, low-latency links like remote control of critical infrastructure, vehicles, and medical procedures.
Massive Machine Communications:
5G is meant to connect a massive number of sensors virtually everything through the ability to scale down in data rates, power, and mobility-providing low-cost connectivity solutions.
