5G Expectations Still Evolving With a Global Twist
What makes 5G different from all other Gs? After efforts to develop specifications, technology and research, the industry has an initial view of how the next generation of 5G services will look. What’s still unknown, is just how great will be 5G’s global impact. According to a recent Heavy Reading Operator Survey, there are striking differences between the U.S. and Rest-of-World (RoW) when it comes to 5G expectations. A majority (52%) of U.S. respondents believe that “faster end-user speeds” will be the biggest benefit over the next five years, while 41% of RoW respondents identified “new services and eco-system expansion” as being the primary commercial benefit over the same timeframe.

Cellular IoT: A Consensus Around Leadership Emerging
With the initial launch of some 5G services, the evolution of some key standards and the emerging clarity of various business use cases, the long-awaited IoT market is beginning to ramp up. One of the key questions is which access technologies will find favor?
Some recent studies, including a global survey by Heavy Reading, are pointing to cellular technologies – especially LTE-M, 5G and NB-IoT – as the market leaders.
In this webinar, originally hosted on Wednesday, November 14th, our expert panelists will examine the drivers behind that finding and what it means for the future of IoT.

IoT Access Technologies – Weighing Quantity Against Quality?
Access technology is the most basic building block for the Internet of Things… and one of the most contested. Although most analysts feel that cellular technologies will only make up a small portion of overall IoT connections, a recent survey of almost 400 mobile industry participants showed cellular technologies – LTE-M, 5G, NB-IoT and even venerable GSM – listed among the most important access technologies going forward. What accounts for the discrepancy? Evolving thoughts on capabilities and requirements? The strength of standards-based approaches? Supply chain?
Watch this lively debate on IoT access technologies, the role of operators, and what the IoT-driven future will look like.
