5G is being positioned as a “network of networks” that will encompass public and private components, licensed and unlicensed spectrum, and even expand beyond cellular, to satellite communications.
But in reality, 5G will only be one component of the enterprise vertical technology stack, states global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research, in its new whitepaper, The Five Myths of 5G.
“The telco industry has somewhat designed 5G as a technology that will complement, or even replace, several other competing communication technologies.
This is, in fact, built into the standard: 5G includes enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) use cases.
The first use case on this list, eMBB, builds on previous cellular generations, while URLLC can enable Time Sensitive Networks (TSNs), and can replace proprietary protocols and even Industrial Ethernet.”
mMTC is positioned to unify cellular IoT technologies into one system and introduce connectivity for millions of different types of IoT devices.
“From a pragmatic viewpoint, 5G will be another component in a patchwork of communication technologies and will certainly add unique value.
However, it will not be the “network of networks” the telco industry is currently discussing,” says Carlaw.
Enterprise verticals—just like the telco industry—have their own established supply chains and families of communication technologies.
“Enterprise vertical end users prefer “function over form,” focusing on practical requirements, rather than insisting on standardized technologies.
It is true that 5G can introduce a more cost-effective base (especially for chipsets and devices), but this will only materialize when enterprise verticals establish a critical mass for 5G and, in turn, economies of scale.”
This may not happen, especially in the first 5 years of 5G, when the telco supply chain adapts to the requirements of enterprise verticals
