Abstract

The fifth generation of wireless technology, or 5G, is the latest and most advanced wireless communication technology that offers faster Internet speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity than its predecessors.  5G is the 5th generation mobile network. 5G technology opens up many opportunities for mobile communication. 5G uses higher frequencies and a much broader portion of the radio spectrum than previous generations, which allows it to send more data more quickly and to more devices. With the promise of faster and more reliable connectivity, 5G is poised to transform the way we communicate, work, and live. 5G technology offers a solution to problems that plague warehousing logistics and supply chains around the globe. This paper explores the potential impact 5G on supply chains.
