Description

5th generation (5G) wireless technologies will deliver a potent combination of network capabilities and flexible options for network deployments, service delivery, and network management. 5G deployments are envisioned as a complex amalgamation of various next-generation technological enhancements to the wireless access, transport, cloud, network applications and management layers. It will incrementally build on various 4G technologies currently deployed, thus enabling mobile operators to preserve existing investments in network infrastructure. A significant share of 5G will be deployed at very high frequencies, which has important ramifications for coverage. In order to overcome the coverage limitations at higher frequencies, 5G networks will be overlaid with “ultra-dense” access networks such as small and metro cells. The core features and functionality of 5G will eventually make their way into lower band spectrum given the need to make them ubiquitous across the US. Over-investing in 5G building blocks, including wide area and small-cell networks, spectrum, backhaul and front haul, and distributed cloud solutions can restrict the ability of operators to deliver economical 5G services. It is essential for mobile operators to establish the right strategic vendor agreements in order to ensure that they receive the best return on their investments in 5G infrastructure. This Frost & Sullivan analysis presents details of the various ways in which 5G mobile networks will support advanced Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. It describes the key features in 5G that are essential for next-generation IoT implementations and discusses the impact of 5G across the major IoT industry verticals. Key use cases for 5G IoT include Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), IoT, and improved throughputs (enhanced broadband). There will be corollary use cases that will be further enabled by the primary use cases, including smart cities, smart infrastructure, and enhanced connected living concepts. Developing new, viable pricing models to support the large number of use cases is likely to be a challenge. For example, delivering the benefits of 5G at a significantly higher cost than what customers are already used to with 4G may not be a good pricing strategy. It is also important to ensure appropriate security for IoT. As more devices become networked, the potential for security breaches expands exponentially. Not only can cybersecurity attacks cause operational disruptions, breached or malfunctioning devices can also be commandeered to launch cybersecurity attacks on other devices and systems to pose significant risks to consumers, businesses and societies. Security must be incorporated at the design phase in next-generation connected products.
