In our recent blog about 5G, we were sure the advent of 5G "will impact the IoT space dramatically". So here is more on why 5G is being seen as a further catalyst for the IoT industry. The June 2019 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts 1.9 billion 5G subscriptions which mean IoT is likely to reach its full potential as 5G becomes its enabler. As there is a surge expected in the number of IoT devices within households (for increased security), 5G will accommodate these devices from close range to long distance, at unmatched speeds while maintaining unbelievable data rates. In the industrial space, 5G will facilitate wireless sensors deployment throughout factories/storage units along with smarter robots, ensuring a seamless transition from hierarchal network design toward a connected one. Further, the integration of 5G in IoT will enable manufacturers to expand and reimagine their factories/warehouses, infrastructure and security to develop new 5G products and revamp old ones.
