Participants will learn how to sell 5G value added services, applications, products, and services

• Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB): Mobile broadband based apps including video watching, browsing, mobile office/productivity, and cloud-based gaming.
• Ultra-reliable Low-latency Communications (URLLC): Augmented reality, virtual reality, telepresence (includes Holographic calling), teleoperation/tele-robotics, autonomous vehicles, UAV/drone operation, public safety, smart buildings and factories, and other latency-sensitive applications.
• Massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC): 5G will facilitate a highly scalable M2M network for many IoT applications, particularly those that do not require high bandwidth.

While 5G-capable devices are now appearing in the market, partnerships between technology and service providers emerging, and carriers are aggressively covering the nation with their 5G footprints.

Service providers are now assiduously prioritizing business use cases with the introduction to 5G for business internet services from the likes of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

But it’s not just the biggest wireless providers making news. 5G-focused startups are entering the game, including companies offering infrastructure, to those making private 5G connections a reality for businesses of all sizes and powering IoT and edge computing use cases.

The global 5G technology market is projected to reach $667.90 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 122.3% from 2021 to 2026.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the highest contributor to the global market, reaching $329.09 billion by 2026, and registering a CAGR of 130.7% during forecast period.

The mounting value of 5G technology is due to it being more than a one trick pony. Broadly speaking, 5G is used across three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications and the massive IoT.

A defining capability of 5G is that it is designed for forward compatibility—the ability to flexibly support future services that are unknown today.

In addition to making our smartphones better, 5G mobile technology can usher in new immersive experiences such as VR and AR with faster, more uniform data rates, lower latency and lower cost-per-bit.

5G also enables new services that can transform industries with ultra-reliable, available, low-latency links like remote control of critical infrastructure, vehicles and medical procedures.

Industry analysts agree: Organizations looking to future-proof their systems and products must recognize the potential of 5G — its fast, reliable transmissions are set to revolutionize business mobility solutions. Let’s examine the benefits of 5G and how this promising network upgrade will supercharge business.

Higher device capacity is one of the important advantages of 5G over its predecessor 4G. Estimates suggest that 5G deployments can support 1 million connected devices per 0.38 square miles, where 4G supported just 2,000.

What this means is that with 5G, enterprise networks can host large numbers of devices in their IT infrastructure, all of which can undertake simultaneous data transfer thanks to the network’s larger spectrum band.

Near zero latency is also expected to supercharge businesses. Latency is the gap of time between when a data packet is sent and when it is received and acknowledged. High latency results in noticeable lag, something that has always been present in our network connections.
