The primary goal of previous generations (3G and 4G) of mobile networks has been to simply offer fast, reliable mobile data services to network users. These limitations have led to the emergence of 5G technology. And while next-generation 5G wireless is only in the early stages of commercial implementation, it was nearly a decade in the making.
Inherent to existing networks are problems such as lack of spectrum, high energy consumption, and inter-cell interference. Consumer trends have shifted towards mobile Internet services supported by 3G and 4G networks worldwide. The mobile market has experienced unprecedented growth over the last few decades. As AI makes devices, including smartphones and automobiles, more intelligent, mobile is becoming the key platform for enhancing all aspects of our lives, having an impact now and in the future." - (MIT) Increased computing power, more efficient hardware and robust software, as well as an explosion in sensor data from the Internet of Things (IoT) - are fueling machine learning, and moving actionable data and intelligence towards edge devices. "AI, machine learning, deep learning, autonomous systems and neural networks are not just buzzwords and phrases. 5G: Vision For The Next Generation of Connectivity 5G for The Fourth Industrial Revolution and The Future of Connectivity
