Are you ready for 5G?

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

You have heard me talk about 5G before. The potential this will unlock will be staggering. Our lives, our business, the way we work all of it, is going to be impacted in a dramatic way!

I think a great question to explore at this point would be exactly what would that impact be on me, the work I do or my business in general. 5G is headed our way at breakneck speed!

This piece by Shelly Palmer entitled 5 things 5G Should Make You Think About is a true eye opener. He discusses the following concepts which 5G will enable:

Fixed Wireless, No Cables
Incredible Speed
Wireless Providers Will Have More Data than Facebook and Google Combined
The Government Is Thinking about Building a 5G Network
Super-Low Latency

What a time to be alive!
