5G Media Action Group (5G-MAG): Bridging Media and 5G

The evolution in connectivity, particularly, the introduction of the fifth-generation technology standard for mobile telecommunications (5G), worldwide is opening doors for new applications, use cases, and business opportunities in many industries. 5G comes with improved technical capabilities targeting enhanced data rates, lower latencies, or high connection densities, among others. However, it is not just a new air interface technology, such as New Radio (NR). It comes as part of a complete ecosystem complemented by computing capabilities integral to networks, highly softwarized functions, new ways of traffic management and isolation together with an increasing disaggregation between processes, equipment, network operators, service providers, and spectrum license holders. While previous mobile technologies established a closed solution, 5G introduces a paradigm shift with respect to industry engagement.
