6 startling things you can do on a 5G mobile network

The Huawei Mobile Broadband Forum in Tokyo this week had tongues wagging about all the possibilities in a new 5G world. While the Chinese tech company would be behind the infrastructure that delivers 5G, the emphasis was on the next generation of apps that such pipes could bring. Whether it's driverless cars or simply cars with artificial intelligence to help humans drive safer and smarter, the amount of data involved makes a 5G mobile network imperative. The showfloor had several examples of this, including a Toshiba concept which had the car talking to the driver to advise on safety, navigation and fuel stops. Virtual and augmented reality was mentioned liberally during the forum.
