Topic Reading-Vol.2438-12/14/2018

Dear MEL Topic Readers
5G smartphones are coming in 2019. What does that mean?
What is 5G? It is the fifth generation of wireless technology. It not only makes communications much faster but also allows people, things and operations to stay connected nearly real time.
For example, you can watch, upload or download high-quality videos without delay or lag. Cars can be connected all the time so that real-time traffic information and navigation will become available. Machines and robots can be operated remotely and precisely so that surgeries can be conducted by a surgeon in a different place. E-sports players can take part in a competition from anywhere in the world.
In order to enjoy such benefits, users need to have a 5G capable smartphone and get a new service contract. That’s simple and easy. But for network providers, they need to make a huge investment to build a new 5G network. All these are happening underground for now, but they will start to become available from 2019.
The faster the better? If the price is the same or lower, yes. But how much premium are you willing to pay for this new communication standard?
Enjoy reading and think when you want to jump on this brand-new bandwagon and how much premium are you willing to pay for it.
