Will 5G change the industry landscape in 2022?

In the past three years, we have heard this call-5G is coming, and it will change the world. Now we are ready for 5G. And I saw the 5G logo in the corner of some mobile phones. However, when we checked the data speed, it didn't change much. Looking ahead to 2022, let us separate the hype from the reality of 5G.

????Today, if your phone is connected to WiFi, you will experience a rich data connection with a quality comparable to that of a computer. The promise of 5G is that you can always get this experience on your phone even without WiFi.

????The audio and video experience will be faster and clearer than ever. Only five years ago, we were struggling with slow download times and constant buffering. Today, we can watch videos on mobile phones just like on TV, and can use mobile applications to perform almost all key business tasks. These experiences, whether used for personal or professional use, will only get better with the transition to 5G.

????The better connectivity brought by 5G will improve all aspects of the mobile experience. Developers, designers and content creators will benefit from the elimination of speed and bandwidth limitations. Users will experience cleaner and clearer connections. "Working from anywhere" will no longer mean that you have to be in the office to be part of a team. 5G will promote improved collaboration and information sharing. Companies can hire the best talents from anywhere in the world, and keep in touch through high-quality Internet and mobile devices.

Business impact

????Workers will also be able to be more autonomous. A recent report found that the autonomy and flexibility of employee value, employee satisfaction and productivity are top priorities. The opportunity to provide similar work experience outside the office will strengthen the recruitment and retention of top talent.

????Even the most onerous data technology can be obtained through mobile devices. Think about it: virtual reality, multiparty video, and even AI. For example, Dialpad provides features such as voice guidance, which rely on AI to provide real-time notifications to the speaker to slow down the voice or make the voice clearer. Currently, this feature is only available on the desktop version. But with more and more mobile connections with 5G, complex functions such as voice intelligence can be introduced into mobile solutions, thereby freeing people from their desks.

????Once we remove the restrictions on the UI and design of mobile devices, we will also see viable methods. How we will accomplish more complex functions on the screen, this will be a real innovation of one-tenth the size of a 12-inch laptop. Does your company hire remote or distributed workforces that require collaboration and integrated workflows? 5G opens up the possibility of seamless screen sharing or video calls with fifty people from mobile devices. The faster increase and availability of data means that our conversations will proceed faster and more seamlessly. These things have never happened before, not because of design, but because of the restrictions imposed by our current network functions. Once these restrictions are eliminated, the sky is the limit.

2022 and beyond

????The proof will be in the app. Currently, coverage is limited to a few areas in certain cities. Every major operator has announced that it will first expand to densely populated areas in 2022 and then widely promote it. According to the "Ericsson Mobility Report", by the end of 2024, 5G users will reach 1.9 billion, 35% of which will be carried by 5G networks, and the technology will cover 65% of the world's population. Such a huge impact on the infrastructure will require upgrading old hardware. This will not happen overnight, and there will be trouble along the way.

????But when we get there, 5G will not be the end, but the beginning. Mass production of such modern buildings allows us to take advantage of future innovations more quickly. Now, we can foresee the next wave of continuously improving networks, computer processing and mobile chipsets, and we are ready for 6G, 7G, 8G, etc. Moreover, companies that expect and accept this change will see a positive impact in 2022 and beyond.
