Much Still Needs to Be Done to Ensure 5G’s Success

As we continue through 2020, 5G deployment is well underway. While full deployment is still far away, the process has already begun. Many 4G service providers have already launched their 5G networks in some capacity. Reports at the end of March 2020 reported that 17.7 million people had become 5G subscribers. Many experts expect these numbers to reach 2.6 billion by 2025. However, plenty of work must be done before we even get close to this number. Until then, 4G LTE will remain the dominant mobile technology for the foreseeable future.

5G aims to increase download and upload speeds, improve reliability, reduce latency, and much more. It will allow you to connect more devices at one time. Productivity and innovation will see increases in the coming years as deployment becomes more prevalent. While many people have already started experiencing its benefits, we have not even scratched the surface of what can be achieved through this fifth generation of mobile technology.

Even though 5G technology is revolutionary, we still need to do plenty to ensure that its deployment and applications are a success. There are still plenty of 5G needs that must be taken care of to ensure that it succeeds. ARYU Networks is on the frontlines, working to establish and deploy 5G networks securely and effectively. We are doing our part to ensure 5G is successful.

Ensuring 5G’s Success

Full 5G deployment is still some ways away, but we are beginning to see the potential it presents our country, from boosting innovation and productivity to improving national security. Even though these benefits are known, there is still plenty that must be done to ensure that 5G succeeds. As we continue to establish this new generation of mobile technology across the country, all kinds of players must work together to ensure 5G has what it needs to succeed.

Cooperation

While we just briefly touched on it, one of the greatest 5G needs out there is cooperation. Far too often, providers and distributors compete with one another to get the upper leg on the competition. We do understand the need for competition, as it often breeds innovation and development, but we cannot stress the importance of cooperation enough.

To reach 5G’s full benefits, everyone from manufacturers, providers, and distributors must come together and realize that these networks provide an opportunity for innovation. This new mobile technology provides us with a chance to build new cases and uses for consumers and businesses. It also presents a chance to collaborate with more partners.

Many businesses and companies should take the opportunity to establish partnerships that allow for increased innovation and development. These partnerships allow innovations and advancements to be spread further and quicker, boosting the speed and efficiency of 5G deployment.

Location

While it is important to focus on the cases and applications of 5G, we must also place focus on where this deployment occurs. After all, some areas require more service and connection than others. During the initial rollouts, service providers should look at areas where 5G will make the most impact. Often, this is in areas with high populations.

Verizon and the NFL partnered together to rollout 5G in select stadiums throughout the NFL season. These stadiums hold thousands of people at once multiple times a season, so establishing 5G there was a smart start.

Deploying these networks in the appropriate areas precisely allows for more opportunities for innovation and development. You can optimize your network by placing it in an area that can get the most out of this network and its benefits. Areas with high traffic uses and coverage requirements will be able to make the most out of the advantages 5G presents them.

Explore Other Uses

The most obvious selling point of 5G to the general public is the benefits it gives them for mobile devices and others that connect to the internet. Most phones rely on 4G for their service and are ready to increase their speeds, reduce latency, and more. However, the uses of it go far beyond mobile devices.

Apple’s wearables, such as watches and wireless headphones, have been a lucrative business for the company, leading it with two straight quarters of 50% growth. However, these wireless commodities are not the only applications for 5G.

Wireless communication allows us to see how 5G can improve how businesses operate and function. Many successful businesses have a mix of physical and digital operations, which begin to blur the lines between what is online and offline. 5G can help blur this line further and connect the physical and digital world more. The Internet of Things connects devices to the internet that normally do not connect to it.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is vital to the success of countless businesses across a host of industries. 5G’s low latency, improved reliability, quick speeds, and differentiated services support advanced devices that couldn’t exist without 5G. Industrial, enterprise, and entertainment sectors will grow increasingly dependent on this connective technology. The need for machines to communicate with one another to improve production and efficiency will only increase.

Exploring and placing focus on these uses and applications will not only improve these industries, but it will also boost innovation and further development of 5G products and wireless connectivity.

Securing Success

5G wireless networks are almost here, promising lower latency, faster upload and download speeds, improved reliability, and much more. However, providers, distributors, and manufacturers must continue to work hard to ensure that it is a success. By focusing on collaboration, precise deployment, and exploring new applications, 5G will be able to flourish and provide consumers and industries with increased efficiency and productivity. ARYU Networks will continue to work towards ensuring the success of 5G.
