Data traffic will continue to increase dramatically over time as the number of devices connected to mobile networks, probes, sensors, actuators, meters, machines that contribute to this increase.
From a user perspective, 5G networks will be more available, reliable and trustworthy, which offers increased speed, better yield , decreased latency and improved device autonomy . at an affordable cost to users.
