His advent 5G in our daily lives everything will change. As stated by its CEO Verizon, Hans Vestberg, this year CES, new technology (5G) will have a significant impact in many areas. To make this clearer, Vestberg gave some real-life examples.

The CEO of Verizon stressed that 5G will not just bring faster smartphones, but it will have applications and other important areas of everyday life, such as education and sports, while it will promote other possibilities, such as product deliveries via drones etc.

Verizon recognizes that the timing may not be right for a full understanding of the potential and use of 5G, as most people are locked out of the home because of COVID-19 and use the WiFi. Thus, few can benefit from the faster connections that exist. At the same time, some inconsistencies in speed, in various areas, make some wonder if it is really worth it.

However, Hans Vestberg said that Although the pandemic has "frozen" almost everything, work on the development of 5G continued throughout 2020. These new networks will be ready to serve and impress people as soon as there is a return to normalcy and returns to the city centers and sports venues begin.
