THE JOURNEY TOWARD 5G

THE
PROMISE
OF 5G

These are the generations of wireless
telephony - simplified. Since 1G, they have
materialized about every 10 years, making 2020
timely for 5G's formal arrival. Each generation
has used new frequency bands, higher data rates
and advanced transmission technologies.

video programming to micro-signals for Internet of Things (IoT)
devices. As technical standards are finalized and field trials proceed in
the coming months, telecommunications providers and users are looking at applications that will integrate 5G into everything: entertainment,
smart cities, smart cars and financial services. With technology that can
operate at least 40 times - and eventually 100 times - faster than today's
standards and provide four times the coverage, 5G is a great leap toward
the new services of our dreams.
"5G will be the platform for invention," says a Qualcomm-commissioned
study of the global 5G economy. The PSB Research analysis found that 91
percent of worldwide respondents expect 5G to generate "new products
and services that have yet to be invented," and 87 percent expect new
industries to emerge. Along with IoT fundamentals, such as machine
learning and artificial intelligence, the evolving 5G ecosystem will be used
with appliances, alarm systems, health monitors, parking meters and traffic signals as well as for ultra-fast wireless delivery of video and data files.
Using the research data, Qualcomm predicts that the 5G value chain
will create up to 22 million jobs worldwide by 2035 and generate $3.5
trillion in global revenue.
"5G will be a unifying, more capable communications fabric that will
take on a much bigger role than previous generations of mobile technology," explains Matt Branda, director of Technical Marketing at Qualcomm.
"It's a layer of connectivity that will become fundamental to our cities,
jobs, homes and ourselves. 5G will enable VR headsets that allow us to

experience the world in new ways, body sensors that monitor our health and make dietary
recommendations and so much more."
Capabilities such as "beam forming" and
"beam bending" will allow 5G transmissions to go where signals have not gone
before or been able to reach, such as around
buildings and through dense walls. An
