  • Smart wearables (like the NowSpex)
  • Smart cars
  • Car-to-car communication
  • Utility management
  • Traffic priority
  • Domotics
  • Security / surveillance
  • Entertainment (download one ultraHD movie in 10 seconds)

From a MapMerge standpoint, the countries that experience it first will be those that adopt 5G first.
