5G Really is Not the Issue

Much of the upside from “5G” actually is from edge computing or internet of things or artificial intelligence. The term “5G” as popularly understood often is not about 5G as such, but the value to be produced by several related technology trends, all working together. 

"5G itself isn’t a magic bullet; it’s a misunderstanding to assume 5G will immediately make everything fast," says Jake Moskowitz, head of the Ericsson Emodo Institute. "If I get a 5G phone right now, even if I live in a 5G network, I’m unlikely to notice much of a change.”

“That’s because 5G is really an enabling technology, and for 5G to have a big impact, it requires multiple 'complementary technologies to come along with it, and those are not in place yet," he adds.
