5G: The enabler for a truly "smart" connected home

The larger global players--Apple, Google and Amazon--have agreed with the Zigbee Alliance to form a working group with the intent of increasing compatibility among smart home products, which is (excuse the pun) a "smart" move. But what underpins a truly connected home? Fast, reliable, and the increased bandwidth, offered by next generation mobile technology: 5G.
