The technology that will revolutionize the way people and companies use mobile devices is closer than you think.
That was the message from the top network-equipment makers when they took the stage at the wireless industry’s annual gathering in Barcelona.
China’s Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Sweden’s Ericsson AB and Nokia Oyj from Finland are hoping that the fifth generation of wireless infrastructure will be a much-needed shot in the arm after years of stagnating demand for the gear used to build 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Their message at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was that 5G is close, with the first commercial networks based on the new technology set to be built later this year.
