5G is helping shape the future of IoT, opening up new markets that require very low latency, high speed, performance, capacity and reliability. Depending on the application, 5G may be easy to implement as in the case of any low-power wide-area (LPWA) use-case or difficult for those embedded mobile broadband (eMBB) applications leveraging new sub-6 GHz or millimeter wave technology necessary to achieve their speed or latency requirements.

In order for OEMs to get to market at the right time and not burn all the budget on development and certification, it is important to overcome the many barriers of integrating 5G.
