Some hear “5G” and just think it means faster connection speeds. However, it goes beyond that. As it matures, 5G is expected to alter the very DNA of our user experience in dramatic, exciting ways—from leisure to healthcare to retail to manufacturing to finance and beyond. Couple this existing network architectures and other next-generation technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and other Edge-to-Edge capabilities, the future possibilities are endless.

Businesses will need to be ready to take advantage of the convergence of services. This is a new network providing a great opportunity to proactively build infrastructure in a way that optimizes 5G and other technologies to increase revenue and disrupt.

Forward-looking organisations are already anticipating the impact of this technology, and are creating long-term plans to realise value, gain shareholder buy-in and deliver innovation.
