Infrastructure and 5G at CompTIA DC Fly-In

When FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr took the stage at CompTIA’s DC Fly-in, Capitol Hill Speakers Series, to talk about 5G and the future of the cellular network, he started with the past.

Ten years ago, splitting the check at dinner was a needlessly complicated exchange of bills, coins, and IOUs. A night out meant planning transportation options in advance. A decade ago, our nation’s wireless infrastructure couldn’t support apps like Venmo, Lyft, Uber and Airbnb that we rely on every day.

On the 3G wireless network of the late 1990s, loading a web page or a video could take minutes. It was only with 4G in 2008, the updated mobile network, that so many of the apps we rely on today became possible.

The shift from 3G to 4G set the foundation for apps and devices that changed the way we interact with each other and with technology. The shift from 4G to 5G will be even more pronounced. Talking about 5G and its potential, Carr highlighted several key themes.

5G Will Enable New, Emerging Technologies

The 5G network’s increased speed and capacity will enable the development and spread of technologies such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and more. These emerging technologies must process and transmit massive quantities of data in real time, something only possible with 5G. Experts forecast that the growth in emerging technologies will create thousands of new job opportunities and fundamentally transform almost every industry.
