CES 5G panel discussionCEO's from Qualcomm, Verizon, and Baidu sat down on a panel during the CES to discuss the opportunities of 5G:
- Transformation in mobile is in between "G's" right now, converting from 4G to 5G
- Users demand for more data/unlimited data with higher speeds for phones
- Focused on the topic of autonomous driving vehicles and being able to connect these vehicles using 5G, which in return connects mobile/consumer more to vehicle.
- 5G will take mobile to other industries, connecting vehicles, small business, banks, etc.
- Won't need as much memory in phones using 5G, which could reduce the recent price hike in smart phones and other devices.
- Noted that phones and devices will not need as large of chips for speed (reduction in the size of chip memory)
