In this post, we examine the state of 5G in 2020. And while the United States is seeing good growth with this technology, it lags in average download speeds. Last year, we presented a post asking and answering: Do YOU Know What 5G Is? In March 2020, we noted that a BI Intelligence study found that "39% of respondents to our survey saying they plan to support 5G in IoT products and services before 2021." All the things we hope will make our lives easier, safer, and healthier will require high-speed, always-on internet connections.

SoftBank Group Corp.'s founder Masayoshi Son said he has $80 billion in cash to buy back more shares and continue investing in both private and public companies. "If our shares drop down, I will buy back more shares more aggressively," the chief executive officer said at the New York Times DealBook conference Tuesday. "We have $80 billion in cash at hand." After a record fall in its share price in March, SoftBank unveiled plans to offload ¥4.5 trillion ($43.2 billion) in assets and buy back ¥2.5 trillion of its own stock. The idea of going private through a buyout has been discussed within SoftBank for at least five years, but Son declined to comment on whether he would take his company off the stock market.

Rostelecom and Huawei have presented a Wi-Fi router specially designed for gamers, called Gaming RT-X. It is already available for ordering in St. Petersburg and other regions where Rostelecom has optical networks using PON technology. Gaming RT-X Router minimizes packet transmission latency with proprietary AI technology that instantly recognizes and prioritizes game application packages. For users of other devices, this will not create problems or tangible delays. At the moment, the router already supports 18 of the most popular online games, and in the near future it is planned to add the function of accelerating cloud games.

EdgeQ, a startup developing 5G systems-on-chip, today emerged from stealth with $51 million in funding. The 90-employee company says the fresh capital will accelerate its go-to-market efforts as it moves toward mass production of its chipset products. With a team of semiconductor, 5G, Wi-Fi, and AI industry veterans hailing from Qualcomm, Intel, and Broadcom, EdgeQ is adopting a "software-driven" development model for OEMs and operators that supports private networking via cellular protocols including 5G (and also 4G). This model promises to decouple the infrastructure from expensive, closed, and inflexible systems to intelligent software layers running on off-the-shelf hardware. The global edge computing market is anticipated to reach $43.4 billion by 2027, according to a 2020 report by Grand View Research.

Despite the fact that it's as yet quite a while away from widespread deployment, 5G is a critical segment in the development of cloud-computing ecosystems toward more distributed environments. Between now and 2025, the networking industry will contribute about $1 trillion worldwide on 5G, supporting quick worldwide adoption of mobile, edge, and embedded devices in essentially every circle of our lives. It will be a demonstrating ground for cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI), offering an environment within which data-driven algorithms will control each cloud-driven process, device, and experience. Similarly as huge, AI will be a vital segment in guaranteeing that 5G networks are enhanced from start to finish, 24 7. Many believe that 5G internet and artificial intelligence will change the world.

Following last week's report that a deal was imminent, Huawei announced the sale of its budget mobile brand Honor. Saying that the company ships over 70 million units annually, Huawei explains its reasoning for the sale as a way for Honor's suppliers and dealers to survive despite the sanctions issued against Huawei by the US and other countries. With politicians declaring the company a risk, they've blocked its access to chip suppliers and US companies like Google. Now Huawei "will not hold any shares or be involved in any business management or decision-making activities in the new Honor company," although it's unclear whether that will be enough to reconnect its business relationships. There's no mention of the financial details of the sale that had been rumored to cost about $15 billion, but Honor is being acquired by Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd., which the Associated Press reports is "a technology enterprise owned by the government of the southern city of Shenzhen."
