“Initially, 5G will make it easier for these devices to communicate in real time with centralized cloud-computing networks. Longer term, blazing-fast wireless networks have the potential to eliminate the cloud as a computing platform,” reads a statement from a Forbes article published last year. In the initial stages, 5G enables mobile devices to communicate at a rate much faster than before, while staying connected to a centralized cloud network. But the real challenge is at the next level when the 5G networks become stronger and stable. And, the coming ‘post-cloud’ trend involves autonomous smart devices with abilities to act on the data at peaks of the network, in the real-time. The speeds that 5G offers is going to benefit individuals as well as business owners facing infrastructure challenges in enjoying cloud computing advantages, especially those depending on public cloud.
