What this episode covers

Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas, discusses the current state and future of 5G technology with host Ryan Chacon. Pearson explains that 5G differs from previous generations by supporting massive machine-to-machine communications, low latency, and high reliability, enabling new IoT use cases in manufacturing, transportation, and smart cities. He notes that while commercial deployments are widespread, the industry is only in the 'third inning' of adoption, with the next phase focusing on standalone 5G core networks and integrating enablers like edge computing and AI. The conversation highlights the shift from transactional smartphone connectivity to solution-driven industrial applications.

    5G and IoT: What Will It Take for Them to Get Along?

    Thomas Keller, Director of Platforms and Core Technology at u-blox, discusses the challenges of integrating low-power IoT devices with 5G networks. He explains that while 5G was designed for high capacity and low latency, the industry currently relies on LTE-based technologies like Cat M1 and NB-IoT for IoT, with 'RedCap' (Reduced Capability) devices emerging as a transitional 5G standard. Keller highlights the tension between network operators needing to support legacy LTE infrastructure and the long-term shift to 5G Standalone, noting that true low-power 5G IoT optimization will take several specification releases to mature.
