Top 10 Usages of 5G Technology That Can Drive the Next Tech Boom

A quick glance at rates of worldwide broadband subscriptions shows the thirst for ever-improving data access and processing power. And in the new Covid-induced work from home normal, it is not surprising that this trend would continue. But that’s not all that 5G has to offer. The connectivity supported by 5G is a far more expansive and enabling technology. It has the potential to transform the foundations of how people live, work, learn, do business, and pursue leisure. If you recognize the potential in 5G, you will see how it’s almost limitless use-cases could revolutionize the tech sector and beyond.

The roll out has already begun: telecom companies, governments, and others have been investing in 5G for years and 2019/20 saw the launch of 5G networks in many countries, including the USA, Canada, South Korea, India, UK, Japan, and China. The stage is set for robust collaboration between the supply and demand sides of the 5G market (telecom companies versus industry/energy/transport businesses and consumers), which could form the basis for a disruptive tech boom. But where are we likely to see the effects of 5G first take hold? Here are ten early use-cases that will capitalize on 5G’s low latency, very fast speeds, and hyper connectivity, which could make them sources of growth in the tech sector for years to come…

  1. Smart Cities – 5G tech could support the connection and operation of hundreds of thousands of individual sensors around a city. These could monitor everything from air quality to traffic levels, from crowds to emergency responses. Intelligent cameras could provide 24/7 surveillance, boosting security and management efficiency. Processing of the information could be done at the Edge, thereby enabling real time responses to resolve problems before they even develop.
  2. Smart Driving – the ubiquitous coverage and ultra-low latency of 5G networks is set to support connectivity between all vehicles, bringing us autonomous and coordinated driving. Whether in private cars or public transport, 5G also paves the way for operators to provide extensive services to passengers, opening up new business models. Huawei have predicted 3m connected vehicle subscriptions by 2025.
  3. Smart Healthcare – Aging populations in Europe and Asia keep healthcare high on the public agenda. Wireless e-health could soon be possible using 5G technology. Remote monitoring via sensors could expand the data available on a patient, heightening the ability of medical experts to identify risks and give care. Remote diagnosis and remote surgery could widen access to crucial services.
  4. AI-Assisted Living – 5G’s hyper connectivity and network slicing could support mission critical services in real time. A digital assistant, worn by the user, could continually gather information about the environment, process it and feed back directions, with almost invisible delay. Artificial Intelligence augmentation in daily life could become the norm.
  5. Leisure and Communication, enhanced and transformed – ESports, cloud gaming, higher quality viewing – these are just a few of the improvements and innovations coming to the leisure industry via 5G. Sharing and interaction over social networks will become even slicker, easier, and accessible, with live broadcasting by individuals of higher quality.
  6. Smart Factories – 5G could revolutionize manufacturing, bringing changes as deep and significant as those brought by the industrial revolution. It will support a smart network of connected devices, that sense their environment, operate together and make decentralized decisions. 5G will enable the increased deployment of robotics, greater surveillance and adaptation along the whole manufacturing process, to enhance quality control. Wireless smart factories could synchronize procedures, monitor inputs and outputs and apply AI and Machine learning to make continual automatic improvements.
  7. Smart Agriculture – 5G enables thousands of sensors and cameras to monitor all aspects of the farming process, from weeds and insects, to the ripeness of fruit or the soil quality. It also supports machine to machine communication and cooperation in real time. The 5G future will pioneer precision farming, through the monitoring and tailoring of inputs (water, food, fertilizer and herbicide), to the maximization of outputs (reducing costs and waste).
  8. Energy Optimization and Conservation – Here again, close monitoring and communication between sensors could facilitate much greater efficiency in power generation and distribution. 5G networks are much easier to deploy and more flexible than fiber optic cables, and 5G network slices could isolate a fault and allow for faster, more accurate grid control.
  9. Virtual Reality (VR) – the 5G supported cloud will relieve the VR device of the processing burden, thereby supporting a wireless, super responsive virtual experience. 5G’s several hundred data bps and millisecond latency, will render the virtual world entirely interactive, with no noticeable latency between action and response. VR could become a part of daily life in areas as disparate as retail, education, leisure, and healthcare.
  10. Drones – 5G supported drones (autonomous, unmanned, aircraft) are set to be one of the biggest new tech trends of 2021. Vodafone and Ericsson have already successfully tested sky corridors for 5G drones in Germany, and BT has launched the first commercial drone corridor in the UK. Imagine, a network of flying machines, independently surveilling, delivering, inspecting, and transporting. 5G drones will empower a new digital airspace economy.

The 5G infrastructure roll out is already well under way, and as you see, the scope and potential for 5G applications is endless. A recent Accenture study found that 80% of businesses see 5G as the “most revolutionary network evolution.” This is because the core technological breakthroughs that 5G supports will power innovation in areas we cannot even yet imagine.

The distribution of processing power to devices all around the network facilitates Edge computing; the connectivity between millions of devices and sensors will gather unprecedented amounts of data, which will in turn force innovation in AI and Machine Learning as we learn to maximize the power behind the data; the ultra-low latency combined with high speeds will make it possible to perform highly time-sensitive operations over the network.

5G is both the result of decades of technological R&D, and about to be the cause of a whole lot more tech innovation and application.

OTC Risk Warnings


Because many securities traded Over-The-Counter (OTC) are relatively illiquid, or “thinly traded,” which tends to increase volatility in market prices, an investment in an OTC security involves a high degree of risk. These speculative and illiquid securities are often difficult for investors to buy or sell without significantly affecting the quoted price. It should be noted that the liquidation of a position in an OTC security may not even be possible within a reasonable period of time.
Dependable information regarding issuers of OTC securities, their prospects, or the risks associated with the business of any particular issuer or an investment in the issuer’s securities may not be available. For this reason, it may be difficult to properly value an investment in an OTC security or accurately determine the risks involved with investing in such a security. For more information about investing in microcap securities, please read the content on the SEC’s website, including the SEC’s investor publication titled “Microcap Stock: A Guide for Investors” available at https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/microcapstock.htm.
Issuers of OTC securities quoted on the OTC Link system are not required to provide any kind of information to investors. While many issuers register OTC securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and regularly provide reports to investors in connection with such registration, they are not required to continue such registration or regularly provide such reports because their securities are quoted on OTC Link. Securities may continue to be quoted on the OTC Link system if issuers are delinquent in their reporting obligation to the SEC or other federal or state regulatory agencies. Quotation of a security on the OTC Link system does not in itself create any ongoing filing or reporting obligations with the SEC for any issuer. In fact, issuers may not even be aware that their securities are quoted on the OTC Link system.
