1. 5G will change the way we shop and will support the unprecedented shift in consumer behavior caused by the coronavirus crisis. It provides high-performance, ultra-low latency networks that enable retailers to integrate the physical and digital worlds using immersive technologies such as augmented reality. This allows shoppers to try products without having to visit a store in person. In addition, when stores resume operations, it will enhance the shopping experience by providing customers with a hyper-personalized digital experience.

2. 5G enables us to realize the potential of a fully connected world, which will promote the greater access of self-driving cars and drones to public spaces. 5G will give new life to better and safer self-driving cars that will be connected to other people, buildings, vehicles and street lights. Road safety will also benefit from 5G technology. It will be possible to collect data from more IoT devices, which will enhance the ability of cities to manage traffic flow, air quality, electricity use and public safety.

3. Moving to more advanced digital technologies is a very important principle, especially in supply chain management. 5G will increase network speeds, simplify workflows between different groups, and will add new levels of end-to-end operational visibility.

4. The days of going to the hospital to see a doctor may become a thing of the past as 5G facilitates virtual consultations through low-latency, HD-quality wireless networks. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, telemedicine services have been increasingly used as it provides patient and clinician connection, care, advice, reminders, interventions, and monitoring over long distances. With 5G technology, wearable or implanted medical devices will capture your vital signs and transmit them to medical staff more efficiently, allowing them to detect early signs of a heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening conditions.
