According to Ericsson's study, by 2025, 2.6 billion 5G subscriptions will cover up to 65 percent of the world's population and transmit about 45 percent of the world's mobile data traffic. Forecasts also suggest Long-Term Evolution (LTE) will peak in 2022 at 5.4 billion subscriptions and will decline to 4.8 billion by the end of 2025 as LTE subscriptions migrate to 5G. Those figures hint at 5G's incredible market potential, especially considering that the study does not include the Internet of Things (IoT) or connected cars. Yet, they are a crucial target group for 5G devices–after all, the new standard pursues the goal of integrating machines optimally in mobile communications for the first time. 5G is, therefore, not just an issue for the telecommunications sector, but other branches of industry as well. For example, the automotive industry sees it as a means of achieving future visions–such as the connected car for self-driving– in the best possible way. That task will require overcoming several obstacles ranging from the continued development of 5G standards to implementing security features in the connected car to challenges such as antenna alignment. The introduction of the new 5G mobile standard is currently being prepared. Initial requirements for the standard have been set while its detailed definition and subsequent implementation are being launched. The successor to the 5G in the Future Connected Car How the New Mobile Standard Makes the Vision of Connected Driving Become a Reality By Ulrich Moehlmann - Technology Leader - Molex representative at 5GAA 5G is one of the technology which will impact the car of the future. Discover here the importance of this standard as an enabler not only of better connectivity but much more as a part of the roadmap for saving lives. | 4 |
