Special Report: Multi-industry 5G The big difference between 5G and other options, such as 4G or WiFi, is supposed to be its versatility. One common set of radio standards would support not just faster mobile broadband speeds, but other capabilities such as ultra-low latency and massive device density. Migration of networks to the cloud, and application of AI analytics, network slicing and the 5G core, would build further flexibility on top of the radio. The result would be networks that could be optimized for a wide range of use cases, vertical sectors and deployers. Common cloud-based platforms would make it possible for new network operators, especially in private enterprise scenarios, to complement the MNOs, and some even hope that open…
