FOCUS: 5G expected to drive new businesses, spark tech advances english.kyodonews.net

Combined with internet of things technology, 5G is also expected to make such devices as smartwatches and home appliances highly integrated, creating opportunities for new fee-based services.
"What 5G technology alone can produce is limited."
To that end, Japan's three biggest carriers, NTT Docomo Inc., KDDI Corp. and SoftBank Corp. which rolled out their 5G services in late March, have started collaborative 5G tests with other companies.
Fujitsu said March 27 it will use local 5G for security surveillance at its facility in Kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.
As for local 5G, global demand is expected to grow 65 percent annually to reach 10.8 trillion yen in 2030, including 1.3 trillion yen in Japan, according to the association.
