“5G” is the next generation of mobile network technology that will make data delivery 100 times faster than 4G.
And there’s no doubt 5G stocks will create a lot of winners over the next decade.
Swedish networking equipment maker Ericsson estimated that new 5G-based opportunities could generate as much as $1.3 trillion in additional annual revenue by 2026 just for carriers.
This spending will initially focus on these key areas: data centers; edge computing; network transformation; and 5G network protocols (also known as 5G IP) and modems.
