The technology is expected to transcend the boundaries between devices and scenarios. This will enable smartphones, smart wearables and smart homes to make working life more convenient. 

"The value of 5G will be shown not only through the upgrades to mobile services, but also through the new opportunities brought to the connectivity industry," added Yang Minghui, President of CITIC Securities. Minghui believes that the increase in data traffic will drive more extensive digital consumption, expanding mobile interconnections to industry interconnections, driving a fully connected world.

Intelligent computing

Due to the significant growth when it comes to data, the growth has raised the requirements for computing. With the development of 5G, cloud-edge-device collaborative and diversified computing are emerging trends in the industry. 

"5G enables cloud-based mobile applications, Internet of Everything, and Smart Everything. Traditional data centres running on general-purpose CPUs will have to be upgraded for higher computing power to deliver device-edge-cloud collaborative computing,” commented Andy Guo, Consulting Director of Frost & Sullivan China.
