The mobile industry has begun the journey to upgrade its infrastructure and services to 5G, the next generation of digital technologies. 5G networks will deliver between 10 and 100× faster data rates, at signal response times up to 10× smaller, compared to 4G networks. These capabilities will in turn enable a range of other technologies (such as big data and cloud services) that will realise new and transformative applications and use cases.
Canada is now entering the 5G era, even if the Covid-19 pandemic will slow adoption rates in the short term. In this report, we evaluate Canada’s readiness for 5G, assess the expected macroeconomic impacts from the introduction of the technology, and identify key barriers for the rollout of 5G in Canada to reach its full potential and drive future economic growth.

Connectivity trends in robotics: 5G and cellular IoT are only just emerging
From a telecoms perspective, robotics was recognised early on as a key future use case during the planning and rollout of 5G around seven years ago. With 5G-Advanced now commercially deployed in early-adopter countries, it is timely to evaluate 5G’s real-world impact on robotics. We also explore how complementary technologies such as edge computing, IoT and eSIM are shaping the connectivity landscape.
