Every 10 years or so there is a new iteration of wireless technology that boosts speeds and allows for related technologies to arise. Well, that time has come and the next generation of wireless technology is finally here. The rollout of 5G will begin in early 2019 as several cellular carriers plan to offer services in select cities around the country.

The experts predict that 5G will be about 100 times faster than the 4G internet speeds we are used to. Some of you may think that the internet is plenty fast already … and you’re not wrong. The current 4G speeds are more than sufficient for casual internet users.

But for the technological innovators — think self-driving cars and streaming services — the higher speeds are a necessity.

5G: Preparing for the Next 10 Years

There are several different angles to consider when looking to invest in the growing 5G trend that will likely last for the next decade.

The first is the wireless telecom companies that will offer 5G networks to their customers. Verizon (NYSE:VZ), AT&T (NYSE:T), and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS) are the big names here, and of the three, TMUS has the most potential. Once its merger with Sprint (NYSE:S) is complete, TMUS will finally be a viable competitor to the two biggest players in the industry.
