Tim Baxter, president and CEO of Samsung Electronics North America<\/strong>, keynoted with Sowmyanarayan Sampath, senior vice president and chief product officer at Verizon, to bring to life what a world powered by 5G<\/a> will look like. 5G will usher in things never before possible, enhancing both enterprise and consumer experiences across government, public safety and a wide range of other industries.<\/p>\n

Samsung and Verizon have worked together closely to lead the development of 5G, culminating in Verizon\u2019s announcement of a 5G commercial launch in four markets by the end of the year.
\n5G networks are driving mobile innovation in the form of connected solutions \u2014 from accelerating smart connectivity to providing massive bandwidth to driving advanced analytics, capabilities and experiences.<\/p>\n

Consumers, industry leaders, and decisionmakers must take note because 5G isn\u2019t just imminent in the future \u2014 it\u2019s already here. \u201cFor years, we\u2019ve talked about the convergence of all of this, and it\u2019s actually happening now with 5G,\u201d Baxter said<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019ve lived in a world with discrete devices for discrete uses . Now, the connection and new experiences enabled by 5G creates a connected experience across phones, cars, wearables and even cities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

With artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and mobility all being critical topics in the tech landscape, it\u2019s important that leaders consider how 5G can enable these technologies and join them together to provide seamless connectivity.<\/p>\n

\u201c5G is going to enable a completely new industrial revolution by bridging the physical, digital and biological,\u201d Sampath said<\/strong>. \u201cYou have all these silos with nanotechnologies. Now is the time to stitch all of that together to make it seamless in our lives. That\u2019s what 5G does, it carries the data at the right speed and the right latency to make that stitch happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Samsung, pursuing 5G networks has been a multi-year journey. Initially, 2G was about putting the phone in the user\u2019s pocket; 3G and 4G put the internet in the user\u2019s pocket. Now, 5G will put the power of fiber optics in everyone\u2019s pocket \u2014 homes, businesses, and cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a future that\u2019s beginning now,\u201d Baxter concluded<\/strong>. \u201cWith 35 years of U.S. wireless innovation at Samsung \u2014 and 5G as the cornerstone of it all \u2014 we\u2019re looking to power AI, connected cloud and all these critical enablers. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to revolutionize what we do and how we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
