5G Security and Privacy for Smart Cities

November 10, 2019

Wireless telecommunications technology has undergone a tremendous evolution in the last few decades, from making simple phone calls (1G) and sending text messages (2G), to connecting to highspeed internet (3G) and providing multimedia and entertainment services (4G). Futuristic technologies such as remote robotics and virtual reality are emerging quickly and are likely to see mass adoption, while 4G cellular networks have reached capacity limits and are incapable of supporting the uninterrupted operations of these services. It is estimated that data will reach 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025, up from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010, when 4G was first being deployed globally. 5G therefore provides a much-needed mobile bandwidth infrastructure for a world of connected objects and smarter cities.
