As we begin a new decade, we also enter a remarkable moment in the technology industry. As 5G scales and gains traction from both hardware manufacturers and consumers, we see a transformational shift in the technology industry. It comes as no surprise that prospects of 5G have been discussed at length by many, including government agencies across the globe. The new 5G is much more than your typical handset upgrade cycle - it is a new technology.  The implications are virtually endless, with great new features that have already been embedded in mobile devices over the years (e.g. OLED and augmented reality).
