Abstract

5G is fundamentally different from its predecessors on certain levels of its design and implementation. These differences primarily lead to higher capacity and speed, as well as lower latency, and reduced energy consumption (compared to earlier generation networks). However, the demand for 5G and mm-Wave networks varies significantly between developed countries and emerging markets. This chapter is therefore focused on identifying the technologies and capabilities of 5G and mm-Wave networks that specifically benefit emerging markets’ needs, which are fundamentally different from the needs of the developed world. This book also reviews techniques to prepare the emerging market for the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and this chapter is central in identifying and reviewing the characteristics of next-generation communications technology that would enable these markets to participate in Industry 4.0, specifically from a telecommunication (transfer of information) perspective.
