The coming year will be a pivotal one for advances in network technology. The rollout of 5G technology, for example, is expected to hit $2.7 trillion by the end of 2020, according to Financing the Future of 5G, an October 2019 report by global financing firm Greensill. A significant amount of that spend will go toward Internet of Things (IoT) integration, with $585 billion geared to 5G implementation on IoT hardware and $469 billion for IoT services. Staying ahead of the network technology curve might be difficult, but it’s critical to meeting marketplace needs, serving customers, and maintaining agility and productivity in an increasingly competitive environment.
