A report suggested that the global 5G Internet of Things connections will reach 116 million by 2026, rising from just 17 million in 2023. According to Juniper Research, the healthcare sector and smart city services will drive this 1,100 percent growth over the next three years.
The report predicts that the healthcare and smart cities market will account for over 60 percent of 5G IoT devices by 2026, due to their low cost of deployment and ability to carry large amounts of data.
“5G will enable more efficient and dynamic healthcare provision that was not feasible with 4G or Wi-Fi. However, healthcare providers must first implement 5G in areas which provide a strong return on investment, most notably connected emergency services.”
There will be over 60 million 5G smart city connections globally by 2026, and the report urges city-planning authorities to leverage 5G connectivity as high-bandwidth gateways. The report also discovered that transportation network monitoring, including road and rail networks, will be critical services that will necessitate 5G-enabled high-bandwidth cellular connectivity.
