Dawning of the 4th Industrial Revolution

First Microprocessor Intel 4004 November 15, 1971 – Commercially available Sold for $60 (equivalent for $371 in 2018)

Today Raspberry Pi $35 Arduino $17

Making the change

It will be a key factor in the 4th Industrial Revolution 5G

5G Wireless More capacity - Over 1000 devices per meter more than 4G Faster: 20 times faster than 4G More capacity - Over 1000 devices per meter more than 4G Much lower cost per bit of data Smaller antennas

5G Facts Two types High capacity / short distances Lower capacity / longer distances

Two Types of 5G Short Distance High Capacity Long Distance Lower Capacity

5G Facts Two types Advancing technology High capacity / short distances Lower capacity / longer distances Advancing technology Phase 1 – now Phase 2 – 2020/21

All wireless technologies have it. Common Problem All wireless technologies have it. DSL and Cable have it.

Middle Mile Connectivity Is Critical Backhaul Middle Mile Connectivity Is Critical

Fiber is still the standard for backhaul

Jon’s predictions Satellite will continue to fill a niche market Fiber will still be the core backhaul Wireless may do shorter backhauls Both fiber and wireless will grow in distribution

Positioning for the future Fiber middle mile If not available, get it If you have it, expand it The 4th Industrial Revolution is coming Be prepared
