A March 2018 policy
paper by Nokia highlights the benefits of 5G networks to consumers and
describes 5G’s role as an enabler of the Internet of Things:
- “5G will offer an expected peak data rate higher than 2 Gbit/s initially and ultimately as high as 10-20 Gbit/s compared to the 300 Mbit/s LTE can offer today, combined with virtually zero latency, meaning that the radio interface will not be the bottleneck even for the most challenging use cases.”
- “5G will support applications and industries of the future such as innovative health care services, self-driving cars and the next generation of industry automation.
- “5G supports the huge growth of machine-to-machine type communication, also called Internet of Things (IoT), through flexibility, low costs and low consumption of energy. At the same time, 5G will be reliable and quick enough for mission-critical wireless control and automation tasks such as self-driving cars.”
- “5G will lower costs and the consumption of energy. Energy efficiency is an integral part of the design paradigm of 5G.”
The policy paper
also includes spectrum management, universal service, taxation, and other recommendations
for Congress, the FCC, and NTIA to consider in an effort to promote 5G
deployment.
