5G promises to bring ulta-fast speed and ultra-low latency to the wireless world, and the possibilities for how 5G can benefit users are endless. As Forbes broke down in their “Killer User Case” article this week, it’s the efficiency of 5G that makes the investment worthwhile for the networks, at least in the early days.
As Forbes explains, 5G is more efficient and cheaper to provide than previous technologies, meaning “operators will be able to offer users unlimited data plans at a much more cost-effective rate without breaking the bank”. Since 5G will be utilized first as a fixed option until widespread enough coverage is available for mobile 5G, the fact that operators will be able to keep up with the high-usage demands of fixed home/office users and compete with traditional fixed broadband providers on price is critical.
