5G and New-Media Services, Part 2: Use Cases and Telco Case Studies

This IDC Market Perspective examines 5G networks, which can carry demanding media types that have been difficult or impossible for previous generations of mobile network to support. This report is the second in a two-part series. The first explored 5G new media types, the services that they enable, and the timescale over which these are likely to emerge. This second installment offers real-world examples of new media services already launched by telcos, and it provides in-depth details in the initiatives of three leading European telcos."5G can untether some media types that, until now, have needed a fixed-line connection," said John Delaney, IDC associate. "This will enable new contexts for existing media applications and some media applications that are entirely new."
