Current trend's in Technology is 5G preparation

Though tech timelines rarely play out the way we think, it’s possible that we could have a 5G network in place—with 5G phones—by the end of 2019. 5G internet has the potential to be almost 10 times faster than 4G, making it even better than most home internet services. Accordingly, it has the potential to revolutionize how consumers use internet and how developers think about apps and streaming content. 2018, then, is going to be a year of massive preparation for engineers, developers, and consumers, as they gear up for a new generation of internet.5G is being positioned for delivery of a wide range of new applications, device types and mobile experience, suggesting that the structure of the mobile market and business models will change radically.
With LTE-A advanced being further standardised in parallel, the path to 5G and the associated specifications represents the most complex mobile evolution that the industry has undertaken to date.
