Progression is a natural occurrence and is visible in every living cell. Stones, earth and water on the other hand don’t progress at all. Progression shows an understanding that to grow to a higher level, one needs to change so that existing resources can be used more effectively and efficiently.

5G as a technology is being accepted in the same vein. With better use of precious bandwidth, humanity shall be able to connect practically everyone with everything be it machines, devices or objects in the backdrop of higher data speeds (in GBPSs at all times!), practically zero latency, infinitely higher reliability, higher carrying capacities resulting in much less failures, and most of all, an unheard or experience user experience across endeavours and activities. At its heart is a technology that uses wider bandwidth (sub 6 GHZ and mmWave) to infinitely higher flexibility and scalability that would bring even more uses under its umbrella. Besides blistering fast broadband services to mobile devices, it would greatly help huge IoT and critical applications that would among others bring about revolutionary changes in logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and of course communication.

In its wake would be the global economy with an additional USD 13 trillion of output equating to about 25 million new jobs!
