Imagine doing business in a world where your desktop travels with you, operates seamlesslyacross mobile devices and accesses the most cutting-edge applications instantaneously. Now picture fleets of self-driving cars that steer around traffic and pedestrians; workers that enjoy hands-on training in ultra-immersive virtual reality environments; and surgeons in Singapore that use ultra-responsive robots to operate in real-time on patients in Seattle.
That’s the promise of 5G high-speed wireless networks from providers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, whose fiber-optic-like transfer speeds will reinvent the business world by enabling faster downloads, greater responsiveness and smarter connectivity than anything before. But consumer tech leaders must change their strategy to effectively capitalize on these innovations and maintain a competitive edge.
According to Gartner, more than 21 billion devices will connect to the internet by 2020, with 5.5 million more added each day. Also nearly three-quarters of the workforce will be mobile and nearly-three quartersof digital spending will originate from smartphones in the next three years. As a result, consumer tech brands must reconsider their products and services, and the high-tech backbones they use to support operations.
They’ll also have to redesign these solutions for speed, flexibility, cost-savings and performance, and rethink how they leverage the tools that 5G technology provides (e.g. faster speeds, deeper data insights and greater virtualization) to create more effective frameworks to power tomorrow’s solutions.
想象一下这样的一个商业世界，个人电脑可以随处携带，移动设备无缝同步，最顶尖的应用程序随时下载；再想象一下疾驰的自动驾驶汽车风驰电掣，穿梭人群；工人们能够使用超沉浸式的虚拟现实环境；新加坡的外科医生使用超灵敏机器人实时给在西雅图的病人进行实时手术。
像AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile这样的供应商承诺高速无限网络，这种利用纤维光学的速度传输，商业被重塑成拥有更快的网络下载，更多的反馈以及更智能的连接性。但是消费品类的科技领袖们必须改变他们的商业战术去更有效地利用这些创新来维持自己的竞争优势。
根据高德纳公司的报告，2020年前，超过两千一百万的设备将会与互联网互联，并一每天五百五十万的速度增长。同时，在未来的三年内，将近75%的数字消费来自于智能手机。作为结果，消费者科技品牌必须重新考虑他们的产品以及服务，高科技同时会成为他们用来支撑其运营的计量。
他们同时会重新设计来提供速度，灵活度，成本控制以及性能的解决方案，并且重新思考他们怎样调节这些5G科技所提供的工具（比如：更快的速度，更深的数据洞察以及更剧烈的虚拟化）来创造更有效的框架来赋能明天的解决方案。
