As cities envision an accelerated connectivity and new models of organization, such as autonomous logistics and machines, real-time data analytics, robots and assisted work, among others, 5G implementation stands as an essential tool to make these projections a reality. It has the power of enabling the next era of smart cities, but where do cities stand with 5G? How many have successfully implemented it and what are the scenarios of using 5G in smart cities? What drawbacks can 5G bring and how can it improve citizens’ lives?
