5G could replace Wi-Fi for manufacturers

With 5G networks poised to crest the horizon early next year, a number of manufacturers, especially in the automotive space, are exploring replacing their local wired and Wi-Fi networks with the new standard, according to the MIT Tech Review.

They're specifically looking into private 5G networks that would operate at manufacturing sites as well as offices and would only be usable by specified devices, as opposed to being broadly accessible like typical cellular networks.

This could offer an expanded market for solutions from telecoms, which would provide these types of networks.
