At the time of writing this blog post (July 2022) the latest GSMA Intelligence report<\/u><\/a>\u00a0lists 198 commercial 5G launches worldwide, with roughly 9% market penetration. With the lofty prediction of 1.2 billion, or 26% of global connections being 5G primary by 2025. Has the hype finally moved to reality? The answer is yes, but with a lot of caveats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Robustel launched our flagship 5G device the R5020<\/u><\/a>\u00a0at the tail end of 2020, and over the course of 2021 we’ve seen hundreds of experiments and proof of concept use cases come and go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the launch of our next generation 5G router the EG5120<\/u><\/a>\u00a0on the horizon, we thought now was a great time to reflect on some of the use cases we’ve seen over the past year, and where we are seeing the most uptake of 5G technology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"EG5120\n\t

5G – the need for a ‘fatter pipe’<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the end of the day a lot of use cases we have seen for 5G rely on the simple premise that you can push more data faster over the mobile network than traditional 3G\/4G use cases. Which makes sense as we saw the exact same trend when going from 2G to 3G, and 3G to 4G\/LTE.<\/p>\n

This opens up 5G as a viable alternative for enterprise networking solutions like ADSL\/Broadband failover, and even as a rapidly deployable primary connection (which doesn’t necessarily qualify as an IoT solution).<\/p>\n

However, it’s important to mention that with a 5G connection as ‘a fatter pipe’ you can run multiple connected systems off a single router with minimal headaches. This makes applications in retail, point of sale and digital signage very attractive, which can lead into more traditional IoT-type deployments.<\/p>\n

1. Public Wi-Fi Connectivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ok… So we cheated a bit – even though we prefaced this list by talking about enterprise connectivity not really being ‘IoT’, it’s impossible to ignore the massive prevalence of 5G routers being ordered and used to provide Wi-Fi Connectivity to the public. This includes:<\/p>\n
