While 4G technology was primarily for smartphones, a vast range of devices can be accessed by 5G networks. As the opportunity for more, and different types of, machine-to-machine (M2M) connected devices connect to a 5G network, a rise in the types of services related to (smart) communications, and smart manufacturing will also surface. Welcome to the smart factory.
Under the umbrella of Internet of Things (IoT) we see smart appliances and smart homes, smart cars, smart buildings, smart factories, and more. From a revenue and profit-making perspective, smart factories are destined to leverage revenues from 5G networks. Immediately.
