There have been three official “releases” since 5G launched, which brought the now well-known 5G capabilities into play like low latency and higher bandwidth. 5G Advanced promises increased download and upload speeds (50Gbps/10Gbps) as well, but that is perhaps the least interesting element of the release. Greater network coverage and ultra-low latency are highlights, but the list of planned enhancements is vast. Thanks to the focus areas of some of these improvements, especially improved low latency, Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) devices and services are in the spotlight.

IMPACT |
AR and VR has been grouped with 5G for years, as the understanding of AR/VR experiences has revolved around low latency content delivery and reliability. That is only part of the story, but AR/VR as connected devices requiring strong and reliable content delivery is a constant.
