Industry 4.0 has proven that better connectivity leads to greater productivity, and 5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology, is the enabler that will truly transform global production systems. Since 1979, wireless telephone communication has evolved from the first generation of analog technology to the fifth. 5G wireless technology pledges to provide end-users faster data rates, higher connection density, lower latency levels, energy savings, and more. 5G has the potential to deliver transparent communication throughout a product's lifecycle across processes and assets between goods and services, production systems, logistics, and people.Despite 5G’s revolutionizing promise, small and medium-sized manufacturers have yet to realize maximum levels of connectivity.
