5G is the next major evolution of information technology. Not only will it replace 4G, but it will enable for a huge diversity of tasks that 4G cannot perform. Below is an image that describes the key advantages 5G has over 4G.
What can 5G do? With new capabilities such as network slicing, 5G allows engineers to design targeted application-oriented networks in software. It would be possible for businesses to own their own private 5G network and set it up according to specific business needs, including storage and computing functionalities; allowing for the possibility of increased productivity. Data will be able to be distributed seamlessly so that the network functions as if it were a gigantic computer. SOA networking consolidates privacy and security services such as firewalls, anti-malware programs, and encryption. This reduces the complexity of network administration and minimizes the risk of vulnerabilities; lowering operational costs for businesses. 5G's low latency will be able to support applications that require real-time and reliable data communication. Cloud-based analytics tools and machine learning algorithms can gain insights on networks faster and more reliably than before. Businesses will be able to work more quickly and more efficiently, saving costs and increasing revenue and will have constant, unbroken access to a fast, reliable internet connection. Through multi-access edge computing, hundreds of devices can be supported at once, decreased site congestion, protected user data, and large data loads can deliver results in real time through local computing. Thus the number of IoT devices are expected to increase due to higher network capacities and speed. Below is a short video describing brief information about 5G capabilities.
What sort of industries would benefit from this? Transport companies, especially those invested in self-driving vehicles, will be able to gain access to more reliable and effective network connections. Fright and logistics would also benefit due to faster communication speeds. The retail industry could also benefit; especially with the rise in AR shopping. With 5G capabilities of handling local data, retail stores could design a network specifically to relay product information through AR technology. Improved connectivity will encourage the discovery of local businesses and online exploration of new apps. ISPs could boost current data plans and offer increased data consumption to its customers. For smartphone companies like Apple and Samsung, introducing 5G capabilities into their products could increase battery life. Businesses, both big and small can potentially benefit from this innovation.
However, people are still concerned if 5G can live up to its name. The exact costs of implementing and distributing 5G still need to be determined. Governments and operators also have differing ambitions for 5G. Wherever 5G will lead us, the process towards integrating towards 5G has already begun.

I found your topic interesting because the implementation of 5G is something that will effect all of us in the near future. As a result of this, the speed of our internet will be faster and more efficient, making many things easier for people. However, one thing that you didn't mention in your blog is the concern many people have over the health risks of 5G. According to an article on Collective Evolution.com: "Scientists have been studying the health effects of 5G and wireless radiation and are deeply concerned with their findings and are calling for a stop to the rollout of 5G, as well as a halt to the proposed increase in radio frequency radiation exposure to the public". The fact that the radiation levels of 5G are dangerous to a person's health pose an ethical dilemma that people need to discuss. It poses whether the efficiency of faster internet speeds are more or less important than the effect it will have on people's health. This is a question I'm sure we'll be hearing about in the years to come.
