Some IoT predictions
“In 2018, mobile phones are expected to be surpassed in numbers by IoT devices”
“There will be around 400 million IoT devices with cellular connections at the end of 2016”
“Around 29 billion connected devices are forecast by 2022, of which around 18 billion will be related to IoT”
Predictions made by Ericsson in 2014

Were those predictions correct?
2018: 9.1bn IoT devices
2018: 7.9bn mobile subscriptions
2025: 25.2bn IoT devices predicted

But what have we learned so far?
IoT isn’t easy!Solutions require expertise in:
Vertical specific processes

Some even better news!
Initial driver for early adopters of 3GPP 5G
Future capabilities will tip the balance of network load towards IoT
5G will address the following IoT segmentsMassive Machine Type Communication (MTC)
Ultra Reliability and Low Latency MTC

5G Where and When?
GSA has identified 217 operators (and operators-to-be), in 86 countries, investing in 5G mobile and 5G FWA networks, in the form of tests, trials, planned and pilot deployments, and launches. (The numbers at the end of April 2018 were 154 operators in 66 countries.)
Operators have announced 575 separate demonstrations, tests or trials that we have been able to identify (March 2019).
At least 94 projects have involved testing Massive MIMO in the context of 5G (i.e., MIMO trials involving 64 or more transmitters, or lower order MIMO used on new high frequency spectrum bands, or involving some other 5G aspect such as New Radio characteristics).
At least 26 projects explicitly featuring network slicing.

Industrial IoT and URLLC
Focus on both commercial and industry use
AR/VR, Factory automation, Transport Industry (incl Automotive), Electrical Power Distribution
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN)
Accurate reference timing, wireless Ethernet, etc…
Reliability and latency enhancements: L1/L2/L3 concepts
Intra-UE prioritization and multiplexing

Asset Tracking
Low cost IoT approach with two paramount requirements:
coverage (full coverage: Indoor / Urban/ Rural area/ Harsh environments / Metallic obstructions…)
Battery consumption efficiency (15 years’ lifetime).

My conclusions
5G has been specifically designed for IoT use (including ultra reliable, low latency, low consumption and massive deployment) l specific processes
5G will roll out much quicker than first predicted…..
Growing participation from potential IoT customers in ETSI and 3GPP
So yes, 5G will make a big difference…
