5G and the Future of Pervasive IoMT

5G is the next generation of wireless connectivity and yes—it’s going to be a game changer. Verizon has launched 5G mobile service in parts of over 30 cities now in the U.S. and several high-profile venues like NFL stadiums, and there has been much discussion of how 5G’s ultra-fast speeds and high capacity will enable all sorts of new uses for consumers. But as exciting as all of this is to the average mobile user, the greatest potential for 5G to reshape the connectivity landscape is likely in enterprise. 5G has enormous potential to support enterprise-class applications such as those that exist in the healthcare market with highly secure, low-latency, and private cellular connections to support specific mission critical tasks and applications. We are actively deploying these networks in our 5G Labs and partnering with companies large and small to identify and explore use cases across a multitude of industries. And healthcare keeps rising to the top of the list of 5G contenders.
