A wave of 5G-ready smartphones, laptops and other devices is expected to hit the market in the year ahead, though many technology leaders think the hype is exaggerated or premature
The fifth generation of wireless networks, 5G is eventually expected to offer speeds up to 100 times as fast as today’s 4G networks. To date, 5G services in the U.S. have been rolled out only in certain cities and consumer adoption remains modest, with few 5G apps emerging that would justify a costly upgrade.
Samsung Electronics Co. sells a 5G version of its Galaxy S10 smartphone, while Verizon Communications Inc. offers a Motorola Solutions Inc. phone with a separate clip-on attachment to operate at 5G. Apple Inc. doesn’t offer a 5G-enabled iPhone. That was the consensus among 30 CIOs who responded via email to CIO Journal’s annual end-of-year survey about their thoughts on emerging technologies and other issues.
For businesses, 5G networks offer the promise of easily scaling information-technology projects by removing the need to build their own costly fiber-optic networks to keep large amounts of data flowing. Hitachi Vantara CIO Renée Lahti, responding to the CIO Journal survey, said 5G is a “telecom buzzword” with no substance behind the hype: “For much of the year we heard growing chatter around the term,” she said, adding that the value of 5G from a business perspective is only starting to emerge.
