"The 5G communications system is arguably the most important technology in this generation, poised to disrupt every aspect of our daily lives, from autonomous driving to factory robotics to AR collaboration to remote surgery. Yet, a vast majority of the general public misconceives 5G as merely a revised wireless standard. Most surprisingly, the key technology enabler in 5G is not the wireless communications technology, but the new computer architecture and software design model, encompassing edge computing, hardware acceleration, software-defined networking, and related software models."-- Provided by publisher.
