How Will 5G Impact IoT?
                     HOW WILL 5G IMPACT IOT?
INTRODUCTION
 The Internet of Things (IoT) is rising as the number of connected devices is set to 
increase from 700 million to 3.2 billion by 2023. While there are several factors 
contributing to this rise, one of the most important will be the development of 5G 
networks.

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.

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.

 Impact of 5G on IoT
 The convergence of the two technologies will affect virtually every component of the 
IoT, either directly or indirectly; for sensors, it offers greater bandwidth to transfer 
information faster and increase functionality.

Remote Industrial Maintenance
 Mass mobile video streaming will enable the repair and maintenance of complex 
machinery remotely. This translates into savings in travel and personnel costs by 
reducing expert travel. These are placed in a central location, to assist less skilled 
personnel, robots or a combination of both.

5G and IoT Security
 Critical 5G communication will enable use cases where IoT devices and machines 
interact with each other. To make this possible, a very fast and reliable connection is 
needed, which 5G brings.
