5G and Cloud Computing Technologies, Solutions, Applications, & Services in IoT, 2022

Cellular Service Providers Will Provide Mission-Critical IoT Services That Non-Cellular IoT Networks Cannot Offer

DUBLIN, November 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "5G and Cloud Computing Technologies, Solutions, Applications, and Services in IoT 2017 - 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The combination of fifth generation (5G) cellular and cloud technologies will provide substantial capacity, flexibility, and functionality richness to mobile network operator Internet of Things (IoT) service offerings. 5G and cloud services (centralized and edge computing) will allow carriers to compete against non-cellular IoT network providers in a manner in which they cannot replicate.

Higher bandwidth services, coupled with roaming and multi-access connectivity will afford cellular Communication Service Providers (CSP) with a major advantage as 5G begins commercial deployment and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) deployments accelerate. 5G IoT services supported by MEC will also enable CSPs to significantly surpass the capabilities of non-cellular providers, particularly Low Power WAN (LPWAN) technologies recently deployed. For example, CSPs will be able to offer mission-critical IoT services that non-cellular IoT networks will not be able to replicate.

This IoT research assesses 5G technologies and solutions in support of IoT. This IoT research also analyzes the impact of 5G in IoT across infrastructure components including hardware, processors, embedded devices, software, and cloud-based service platforms. This research also assesses the prospects for 5G IoT across all major industry verticals. The report includes detailed forecasts covering the aforementioned areas for the period 2020 to 2025.

This IoT research also evaluates IoT edge computing via Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) technology, architecture and building blocks, ecosystem, market drivers, applications, solutions, and deployment challenges. The report also analyzes MEC industry initiatives, leading companies, and solutions. The report includes a market assessment and forecast for MEC users and MEC revenue globally, regionally, and within the enterprise market for years 2017 to 2022. Forecasts include MEC infrastructure (equipment, platforms, software, APIs, and services).
