With the advent of 5G, the next generation of cellular communications, wireless connectivity and Internet access are rapidly approaching. Significant increases in data rates, enhanced coverage, reduced latency, and capacity improvements across different markets and applications are making 5G a disruptive technology – changing user experiences and the way we ubiquitously connect to each other, smart objects and sensors around us. The move to 5G will also impact the broader Internet and cloud services that have revolutionized how we interact with the digital world.

In this webinar, Kevin Walsh and David Pehlke will share their perspectives on how 5G will be deployed across products and networks and the impact 5G will have on the way we ubiquitously connect with each other and everything around us. Specifically, we will address:

- A pragmatic guide to what's next for 5G wireless technology
- Expected timeframes for deployment
- 5G's impact on consumers and users of wireless connectivity and communication technology
