5G (5th generation wireless systems) is the next major phase of mobile
telecommunications standards. The scope of 5G will ultimately range
from mobile broadband services to next-generation automobiles and
connected devices.

Two major trends are behind the race to 5G: the explosive growth
in demand for wireless broadband that can carry video and other
content-rich services, and the Internet of Things (IoT), where large numbers of smart devices communicate over the Internet. To achieve these objectives, 5G will provide extreme broadband speed, ultralow latency, and ultrareliable web connectivity.
