How 5G will impact consumers and industries.
                     HOW 5G WILL IMPACT CONSUMERS AND INDUSTRIES?
INTRODUCTION
 The launch of 5G in 2020 ensures that both customers and organisations will face faster 
data acquisition rates projected speeds will be 100 times higher than the existing 4G 
network.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCE
 5G is a wireless network of next generation that provides higher download rates, less 
delay (latency), and less interruptions.
 While the speeds of 5G are easily rife with high-speed Wi-Fi, which is an advantage for 
all consumers who do not have to experience interruptions or downtimes.

IMPACT OF 5G
 The biggest impact of 5G will be to the ‘Internet of Things,’ as it will make these 
devices much easier for businesses and consumers to deploy.
 What 5G ultimately means is an explosion of connected devices, which will impact 
pretty much every industry and will also eventually become ubiquitous in households.

MAJOR CHANGES
 This technology will also enable smarter transportation, such as over-the-air software 
updates to vehicle systems, self-driving vehicles, smart traffic systems and more. 
 5G is setting the stage for a major change in our daily lives, as smart devices will 
eventually become part of almost everything we do.

GREATER PROLIFERATION OF AR/VR 
CAPABILITIES
 The promise of 5G's ultra-low latency is that virtual and augmented reality can make 
good on the promises to revolutionize tech. 
 With 5G's high speed, processing power could be moved to the cloud, allowing for more 
widespread use of VR/AR technology in the public domain.

BETTER BIG DATA PROCESSING POWER
 Currently, AI and big data analytics are being used to assess consumer patterns and 
personalised, and the capability of 5G will increase the bar to the amount of collected 
data companies and the speed at which AI can handle them, with no communication.

SAVING MORE THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN
 Every 5G network node will host a lot more devices than 4G, delivering a substantially 
quicker average downloads and lower download rates. 
 This provides immense opportunities for transforming supply chains for 5G-enabled IoT 
services.

SECURITY OF 5G
 As 5G technology is rolled out in 2020, businesses and individuals should take the time 
to revisit their security posture since this new wireless communications technology 
opens up the attack surface in great and more unexpected ways.

SECONDARY EFFECT
 The real concern with 5G is with this secondary effect from the expected boon in IoT 
devices which will create a massive new attack surface for criminals and nation-states.

EXPAND THE DIGITAL RISKS 
 5G is an exciting technology and will do a lot of great things, but it will also 
significantly expand the digital risks for both companies and individuals.
