Global Future Council on New Network Technologies 5G: Society’s Essential Innovation Technology
Many challenges faced by society today will be addressed and supported by advanced technologies that are able to harness, analyse, and connect massive datasets. One of these will be fifth-generation mobile networks, or 5G, which will provide a new foundational communications capability that brings humans and devices into a common orbit built around distributed, near-instantaneous interactions. By bringing the power of computing closer to data sources through 5G networks, previously unsolvable problems can now become a reality.
