Researchers are expecting the 2020 rollout of 5G to provide greater opportunity for a widely digitized environment

The 5G evolution is well on its way according to a new survey done by Rysavy Research. 
 
In their lengthy white paper released on Thursday, the research company looked forward into the 2020s and 2030s to see how the rise of 5G will change every aspect of our lives. Their study, Global 5G: Implications of a Transformational Technology details society's move from 1G in the 1980s to 5G, which has been rolling out globally over the past few months.
 
"The transition to 5G has been happening simultaneously with continued advances in 4G LTE," said Rysavy Research President Peter Rysavy. The report was done in conjunction with 5G Americas, the industry trade association for 5G and LTE in the Americas.
 
"5G will transform wireless network capability by facilitating extremely dense deployments, harnessing spectrum never before available for cellular systems, being able to use extremely wide radio channels, employing virtualization methods, and supporting new ultra reliable and low latency applications
