Abstract

5G is the promise of a tetherless world. It often tops the list of the many up-and-coming technologies discussed today. Innovators and technologists are investigating its potential across numerous industries, and one of the most prominent industries to come up is the media and entertainment industry. 5G technology is set to revolutionize the media and entertainment industry by enabling faster data transfer speeds and lower latency, leading to enhanced streaming quality, immersive experiences, and new content creation possibilities. As media and entertainment businesses explore 5G's potential, they are focusing on promising use cases in four areas: immersive and interactive media, streaming, live and remote productions. By unleashing the power of private 5G networks, media and entertainment studios can leverage the agility, speed, and security needed to ride the next wave of cutting-edge use cases.  This paper explores several applications of 5G in the media and entertainment industry.
