The expansion into 5G networks offers a list of promising benefits for its end users, with faster speeds, larger capacity, and enhanced reliability for mainstream adoption of the IoT. For the widespread implementation of these networks to become a reality, they must be designed to handle increased bandwidth requirements, and power is critical. The development of 5G networks — both now and in the future — will continue to grow, and reliable power and infrastructure solutions will be crucial to help ensure the success and proliferation of widespread 5G network capability.
5G is expected to deliver greater bandwidth and speed with less latency than 4G, making it an ideal choice for developing technologies, such as the latest IoT devices and AI applications that require fast, seamless data transfers. Years into its introduction, however, fewer than 50% of wireless customers have access to 5G networks despite the fact that most mobile devices sold today tout the capability to operate upon it. Widespread deployment in many countries has, unfortunately, been delayed by slower-than-anticipated infrastructure upgrades, economic slowdowns, political challenges, and logistical concerns, such as large distances that require the installation of more small cells to facilitate 5G’s smaller wavelengths.
