Accelerating 5G With the Network Digital Twin

5G for industry, rather than consumers, is positioned as the key to future revenue growth for the mobile telecom industry. The whole ecosystem around 5G devices, use cases, and industry adopters needs to evolve before that can happen. That means the timelines for the impact of 5G in the enterprise sector will be much longer than for consumer 5G. We're already seeing growing numbers of demos for 5G applications for industry, but the finalization of the standard for some of the very important aspects of 5G that they relate to IoT is not going to happen before release 17. That is meant to be frozen in 2021, but that timeline might slip. Hence, the chipsets and devices will also get pushed out.
