5G is definitely on the horizon and is expected to benefit not just individual mobile users but also business owners. 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in particular promises greater capabilities and increased productivity by changing how connectivity-dependent organisations work.

 

The next generation mobile connectivity is set to exceed current speeds with trials pointing to bandwidths of at least 1Gbps and 1ms latency, which would allow users to download a 5GB file in less than a minute. With this kind of speed, multiple users within organisations will be able to work comfortably and efficiently while maximising their time and energy. Employees will also be able to respond to external events faster than ever before, allowing for better business decisions to be made. It will also help businesses avoid major disruption and react quickly to changing circumstances.

 

With its numerous potential benefits, 5G FWA is expected to have a massive impact on the national economy once it is finally rolled out in 2020.
