In this decade, 5G has become the hottest technology since the telephone. 5G promises to change connectivity from business-to-business, or person-to-person and connect every individual and device in our lives, from the clothes we wear to the cars we drive, and generate unimaginable amounts of usable data in the process.

Siemens industry veteran Fram Akiki is a noted expert in 5G and is watching the evolution of this technology from the inside. He notes that there are technical limitations to the rollout of 5G, but they are surmountable and cost-effective. Can 5G make the Internet of Things as ubiquitous as the World Wide Web itself? In this conversation with engineering.com’s Jim Anderton, Akiki lays out the future.
