While society sees the impact of 5G through new, real-time consumer entertainment and business innovation, operators of telecom data centers are experiencing a very different impact. The need to make 5G responsive and reliable is driving data center capabilities out of central facilities, a trend that raises the requirements for battery backup.
According to the GSM Association, the fastest 5G networks are expected to be at least 10 times faster than 4G LTE. This higher bandwidth not only supports faster download and upload speeds for applications and data but also expands the capabilities for IoT applications connecting large numbers of sensors across homes, cities, and industry.
