The coming wave of 5G networks could impact IoT in a variety of ways :
* Higher bandwidth and faster throughputs will make it possible to support more advanced use cases, especially those that require quicker response times, such as traffic control systems or automated public transportation.
* Organizations can distribute more sensors in order to capture a wider range of information about environmental factors or equipment behavior, resulting in more comprehensive analytics and a greater capacity of automating operations both at the industrial level and consumer level.
* 5G could enable IoT on a more comprehensive scale in areas where it might be otherwise difficult to achieve, helping industries such as healthcare and agriculture.
* The faster throughput and ability to handle data from more sensors will make it easier to establish smart cities, which require a higher saturation of IoT devices.
* Manufacturers will be able to use 5G to better track inventory throughout its lifecycle, as well as better control workflows and optimize operations.
* 5G will enable organizations and governments to respond more quickly and efficiently to different types of incidents, such as medical emergencies, pipeline leaks, fires, traffic accidents, weather events or natural disasters.
* Automobiles can benefit from 5G as cars become more connected, helping to keep them safer, better maintained and more fuel efficient, while also making the autonomous car more of a reality.
