Also, there has been some level of maturity in RedCap ecosystem, IoT and Internet of Vehicles (IoV). All these high-end technologies require high internet uplink speed to work effectively. These various applications across different scenarios are anticipated to generate approximately 100 billion connections. The adoption of these new service models is expected to bring about industry upgrades and advancements. These upgrades and enhancements will then lead us to a second wave of benefits.
Private Networks Have Benefited a Lot From 5G Connectivity
The first commercial 5G hit the market about four years ago. Since then, over 17,000 private network operators have adopted it throughout the world. In terms of benefits, the revenues from t 5G private networks have tripled. Also, the total number of industrial private networks have tripled. 
Moreover, many operators have made use of the CNY10 billion generated from 5GtoB private networks. This revenue has fueled growth of CNY100 billion within the Digital Information and Communication Technology (DICT) sector.
In actual fact, 5GtoB first started in China. However, they have expanded to other regions around the world. These services have been commercially deployed successfully to regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Industry Customers that Benefit from 5G Connectivity
With the 5GtoB services, industry customers can actually achieve quite a lot. They can be able to operate at reduced cost and improved efficiency. Moreover, it can facilitate intelligent digital transformation in various industry sectors. Some areas that can benefit from 5GtoB services include manufacturing, ports, mines, oil fields, and healthcare.
