5G - What is Real and What is Hype?

5G promises blazing-fast data speeds, reduced latency, and greater density for smart devices. But will 5G really live up to the hype? Voler Systems President, Walt Maclay, answers this question and discusses the details that often get glossed over amid all the excitement:

The three 5G service classes — enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) — along with their respective capabilities and limitations,
Projected 5G use cases for each of these service classes based on their characteristics,
The 5 key issues with 5G that no one hardly ever talks about, ...and more.

In particular, what does 5G really mean for the future of IoT? What, specifically, will improve, and what is unlikely to happen? And will today's devices remain compatible in the future?
