It is not at all yet clear how big a deal 5G will be as a platform to support internet of things applications, including industrial IoT.
It is clear that executives from Asia, Europe, the Americas believe that is a possibility, as there is significant thinking about investments in mobile, location tracking, wearables and voice recognition as key technologies that will transform the plant floor, over the next five years.
The biggest increases seem to be in the areas of mobile technology and location tracking, both of which naturally lend themselves to wide area networks, rather than "in building or on campus" connectivity.
