Five Issues in Deploying 5G and Potential Solutions for Telecom Service Providers - Coruzant - The largest technology publication on emerging tech and trends.

Widespread deployment of 5G brings with it the promise of a network of connectivity with greatly improved latency and downtime. To reach full 5G capabilities, telecom service providers would be required to reach enough density to monetize the network by installing 5,000 to 20,000 5G small cells in every major city within the next five to ten years. This brings the network much closer to mobile phones and every type of IoT sensor or device that needs connectivity. The explosive increase in bandwidth will open new possibilities, from remote surgeries guided from New York City to a small African village, to enabling new ways for humans and robots to work together on a factory floor. Full 5G coverage is an ambitious goal, requiring the biggest telecom players to invest $20 billion annually in the US.
