5G will have more of a niche role in the early years, launching in dense metropolitan areas first, and on a city-by-city rather than a countrywide rollout basis.
Where it is enabled, it will co-exist with 4G, which has a relatively long lifespan.
The killer application will be as the first true broadband alternative, mainly in developing countries and areas where broadband capability is either non-existent or very weak.
Standardisation is some way off and this – along with the cost implications – will force a wait for a lot of operators. We will see some launches in 2018-2019 when the standards set by the GSMA set in.
Business models for 5G in applications like machine-to-machine connections and self-driving cars will need to be designed imaginatively. These will present a challenge to operators’ profitability because of the low amount of revenue available per connection.
