Unready in Europe<br />

The 5G Readiness Index<br />

reveals that Europe is<br />

falling behind. But 5G<br />

isn't just an upgrade, but<br />

a paragym shift that will<br />

unleash innovation and<br />

new business ideas leaving<br />

latecomers playing<br />

tions will not disappear when<br />

the next generation of mobile is<br />

implemented. Rather, they will experience<br />

a performance boost under<br />

5G, such as faster downloads,<br />

improved streaming and gaming,<br />

or more reliable video conferencing.<br />

take advantage of this difference<br />

"here," which will take another<br />

five to ten years. Until then, we<br />

see two types of near-term impact:<br />

How existing applications<br />

work on 5G networks and how 5G<br />

impacts the economy even as it is<br />

being deployed.<br />

Even though 5G is applicationbased,<br />

today's mobile applicawill<br />

definitely be among the winners<br />

of the development.<br />

The other angle from which to<br />

look at the short-term impact of<br />

5G, is the benefit to the economy.<br />

According to a study conducted<br />

for the U.S. by the Boston Consulting<br />

Group, 5G will contribute<br />

between $400 billion and $500<br />

billion to the gross domestic<br />

product there and create up to<br />

one million new jobs by 2030.<br />

Even if these figures already seem<br />

impressive: The economic impact<br />

of a new mobile network has already<br />

been underestimated at<br />

least once. Studies at the beginning<br />

of 4G deployment, for example,<br />

assumed that investment<br />

in 4G networks in the U.S. would<br />

contribute about $73 billion to<br />

$151 billion to GDP from 2012<br />

to 2016 and create 371,000 to<br />

771,000 new jobs. By 2016, however,<br />

4G contributed nearly $445<br />

To Beam or not to Beam?<br />

Instead of emitting a mobile<br />

signal in a circular pattern,<br />

which then becomes weaker<br />

and weaker at the edges, as<br />

has been the case in the past,<br />

beamforming allows 5G signals<br />

to be targeted in the form of<br />

elongated lobes. This means<br />

that the transmission power can<br />

be adjusted as needed.<br />
