5G is just a consumer trend.
(Or so the skeptics say.)
I hear the skepticism a lot.
And I get it—every new standard feels like noise.
But I’ve seen this before.
When 4G launched, people shrugged.
Streaming on phones? Not serious.
Now, entire industries run on that leap.
5G is walking the same path.
Already, it’s powering real use cases:
- Smarter trucks, smarter supply chains.
- Sensors turning fields into data-driven farms.
- Smart grids that balance power in real time.
If “trend” means short-lived, 5G doesn’t qualify.
Its PHY layer alone shows why.
Compare it to 4G—latency, throughput, efficiency.
The gap is not cosmetic. It’s structural.
Dismissing 5G today feels like mocking concrete at a build site.
The skyscraper doesn’t look like much yet.
But try building one without it.
5G isn’t waiting.
It’s already reshaping the ground we stand on.
And for me, that’s the part worth paying attention to.
Thanks for reading.
