Billions of 5G devices will generate huge waves of new data. They'll also create new ways to solve challenges and drive yet unimagined growth opportunities. Everything is set to change: products, services, businesses and operating models. Acting now can put CSPs on the front foot. Short-term gains and industry leadership will follow. By applying 5G's ultra-low latency, real-time connectivity, vastly increased capacity, and blisteringly fast speed, CSPs can leapfrog competitors and realize the full potential of the Pervasive Network.

2019/2020 will see the launch of commercially-ready 5G networks. Making the right investments, and knowing how to capitalize on them, are essential but complex and time-consuming.

CSPs that want to lead the 5G race have many decisions to make. From spectrum planning and feasibility issues to priority use cases, new business models and device strategies, CSPs must negotiate a world of operational complexity while keeping on top of costs.

The race is on. And acceleration is key.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has meant that demand across media companies is being re-shaped at a rapid pace with a drastic rise in consumption of on-demand content and in-home experiences. Of course, this is coupled with a sudden and universal obliteration of in-person experiences impacting venue owners across the board, including going to the movies.

Consumers will head back to the theaters, albeit in different ways, specific to geographic limitations and guidelines. The default of consuming content at home will no longer be limited to some but comfortable to all. New experiences, fueled by technology, will be required to excite consumers and compel them to "go back to the movies" and reinvigorate the industry. And, the need for such experiences was evident even before the pandemic.

Explore how harnessing 5G to create unique and compelling experiences before, during and after the movie can draw audiences in for the next 50 years.
