5G is the latest generation of mobile networks. It extends the capacity of previous mobile technology, allowing more connectivity and extensive business benefits.

Improved User Experience

5G’s greater capabilities improves user experience in virtual reality and augmented reality. About half of global consumers are expected to move away from smartphones to smart glasses, making 5G indispensable as the market transforms.

Faster, More Bandwidth, Fewer Problems

5G connects up to 10 times faster than 4G. The amount of data that can pass through digital networks is also greater, allowing companies to transmit more information with fewer problems. This is of increasing importance as homes and businesses move towards multiple smart devices, smart buildings, and smart grids.

Lower Latency, Better Battery Life

5G reduces latency, the time delay between user actions and an application’s response. This has a very positive impact on how quickly users can access and back up cloud data. Devices do not need as much computing power either, reducing battery drain.

Greater Capacity

Compared to 4G, 5G can support about 500% more devices, which will greatly relieve network congestion.

Better IoT Connectivity

5G improves machine-to machine connectivity as well as connections to the Internet of Things. IoT applications also gain more control of network characteristics to create specific use cases.

Increased Productivity

Increased speed and better connections allow businesses to operate faster and more efficiently. Remote workers enjoy unbroken access and all the tools they need to do their job are readily available. Since 5G is set to reach many rural regions, businesses can also expand into previously untouched markets.

Tailored Networks and Software

5G networks are flexible and reliable. As a result, organisations can often create multiple virtual networks within a single physical infrastructure.

Additionally, companies can enjoy greater energy and cost efficiencies. This allows them to explore new products and services and to easily adapt existing ones as the market evolves.

Industry-Specific Benefits

Many industries are already perfectly positioned for the implementation of 5G. Others have already embraced it, because it offers them extensive benefits.

Healthcare & Medical Technology

5G has already benefited these industries through telemedicine and remote surgery. As 5G develops, patients will use more smart wearables. Health providers will also use more IoT sensors to monitor vital hardware.

Finance

5G is set to transform the financial service industry too. Clients can enjoy real-time video calls for better recommendations. Wearable devices can also simplify authentication for faster, more efficient banking processes.

Retail

5G combined with augmented reality and virtual reality allows shoppers to experience products and see in-depth information, regardless of business size. Companies can expand markets and interact with their clients in new ways.

Manufacturing

5G increases network infrastructure and can help businesses optimize performance. Analysing data faster also allows them to make strategic business decisions quickly.

Transportation

Smart lights and grids as well as self-driving vehicles will benefit from 5G’s speed and efficiency. This can moderate traffic flow and improve safety and communication. Autonomous drones can also provide real-time weather information to self-driving vehicles, allowing them to reroute instead of facing inclement weather conditions.

Education

5G improves the predictability and security of data. Consequently, colleges and universities are equipped with secure reliable networks, they can use both on-campus and remotely.

Tap Into 5G Business Benefits

Worldwide 5G connections surpassed 1.5 billion at the end of 2023, but 5G has not realised its full potential. It will undoubtedly continue to transform business and provide high commercial value.

EarlyBirds can help organisations benefit from the full potential of the 5G network. We offer four pathways towards innovation and the following benefits:

• Reduced cost of innovation
• Quick increases in innovation capability, when required
• Connections to the best Subject Matter Experts and innovators available
• Simple process

EarlyBirds Innovation Ecosystem

Our award-winning Innovation Ecosystem earned us the title of Global Open Innovation Platform of the Year 2023 and 2024. It allows both innovation and strategic thinking in all areas of a business, whatever the technical or business challenge or potential opportunity your organisation wants to explore.

We unite Innovators, Early Adopters, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to fuel rapid innovative adoption and business evolution. Early Adopters are leaders eager to identify new and disruptive technologies. They want to seize opportunities, solve business challenges, or create new products and services.

Our Ecosystem has a data pool of over 5.0 million global innovations across many industries with solutions that may already address your organisation’s challenges. Alternatively, organisations can list their challenges and request solutions from innovators.

EarlyBirds Ecosystem Maps

EarlyBirds’ offers Ecosystem Maps to help organizations address pressing issues. Each contains startups, scaleups, and mature companies involved in specific themes and sub-themes so organisations can plot a path towards innovation. The maps also track numerous daily and historical news and media articles from across the world.

EarlyBirds Explorer Program

The Explorer Program is tailored towards those who need innovation as a service to supplement existing innovation programs, or to conduct innovation projects when required. It is designed to speed up the process of technological innovation for the organisation as a service.

The Explorer program includes several features including quarterly and monthly innovation days; regular webinars to help stimulate innovation in the organisation; a focus on types of innovations; a platform enterprise license; and a nominated SME for the business.

EarlyBirds Challenger Program

The Challenger Program focuses on a single organisational or technical challenge. It looks for the most relevant innovators that meet your organisational, technical, and risk requirements.

The program is run by an EarlyBirds Subject Matter Expert who identifies your key issues. The SME then searches the data pool to identify and curate options for further evaluation. The most suitable option is chosen and the SME drafts a roadmap of next steps, POC, trial, or implementation.
