A new standard of mobile communication will ensure the Internet of things concept development. In addition, unmanned vehicles and buses will use 5G. The maximum data transfer rate in 5G networks reaches 1 Gbit / s.

Now experts are checking the quality of Internet access on the section of the railway between Leeds and Manchester.

Along this route the transmitters that meet the new standard will be installed. If the government recognizes the experiment as successful then within next year 5G will appear on all railways in the UK.

Analysts at Citigroup named 5G one of ten new technologies that have not yet attracted large capitals but in the future will bring billions of dollars to their investors. Among other things the list of Citigroup includes unmanned vehicles and artificial intelligence.
