With the 5G global rollout set for 2020, innovations are required to deliver scalability, capability, security, and efficiency. Vast and fast is the major theme in the 5G digital transformation infrastructure being built on Micron technology. 5G adds a boost in bandwidth to 10Gbps, drops system latency to sub 1ms and pairs this with a significant reduction in power consumption over existing networks, all with nearly unlimited availability and area coverage. New solutions are required to feed these innovations.

To be clear, 5G proves how the future is bound to data. Micron has been working with 5G ecosystem partners and customers to help build the infrastructure and ensure all data is securely connected, from the edge to the cloud. How can Micron help your organization capitalize on this new connected environment? As we accelerate global networking, we'd like to discuss five ways to the 5G future and how they're tied to data.

The Mobile Edge

Mobile edge computing will reap huge benefits from 5G. In fact, NetworkWorld states, '5G will make edge computing a necessity.' Mobile edge computing provides a highly distributed computing environment in which to deploy applications and services as well as to store and process content close to mobile users. Edge computing has moved beyond connected phones and tablets to encompass the billions of devices and systems that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT).
