It lays the foundations for new customer experiences, such as augmented reality, the networking of industrial machines and the Internet of Things with millions of intelligent devices. The technology is also helping to digitise many areas of our everyday lives. The wireless networking of production facilities makes 5G a key aspect of Industry 4.0.

But how is 5G shaping up and what specific opportunities are emerging for industry and SMEs?
