Based on where 5G is in Gartner’s enterprise networking hype cycle, “5G is five to 10 years away” from the point at which the real-world benefits are demonstrated and accepted, and the rapid growth phase of adoption begins, Gartner says.
Another way of describing where we are is that 5G will be as ubiquitous as 4G in five to 10 years. We also can expect a period of diminished expectations, as the 5G hype fails to match expecationsm as fast as some expect.
