Wearable technology has been used in multiple industries, such as healthcare and fitness. Fewer lags and faster download speeds make the real-time experience required for wearable technology possible. The primary purpose of the wearables, she said, is to help those who are deaf or hard of hearing experience music inclusively. The Vibrotextile wearable technology is a haptic vest with wrist and ankle bands. "People want to be connected, and I think that's the most important aspect of technology," Rosella said.

But the potential of 5G technology could be enormous and a major boon to businesses, tech leaders told Business Insider. She added that nearly 20 countries around the globe still lacked 4G connectivity but could be brought up to date using 5G. "5G, and specifically private 5G, is acting as a catalyst that is driving customers toward change," he said. "Currently, the site showcases IoT connectivity, edge analytics, and predictive analytics to drive sustainability and energy efficiency on a private 5G network," Sandhu said. Alongside Schneider Electric, NTT has customers including Frankfurt Airport (Europe's largest private 5G network) and the city of Las Vegas (the largest private 5G network in the US) signing up to develop private 5G and edge-computing capabilities.

Building a private 5G network for your business could be beneficial if you need fast data transfers. But 5G is more expensive than 4G or WiFi, so it may not be worth it for every business. McKinsey has estimated that mobile operators will spend more than $650 billion from 2022 to 2025 to make 5G networks the norm. If you're considering adding 5G to your business, here's what you need to know. "At present, there are very few 5G business networks deployed, and many are still in a trial phase.

If your business occupies at least 500,000 square feet, 5G could provide the right connectivity. He added: "You have to put close to 6,000 to 7,000 WiFi access points to cover 1 million square feet. In fact, Ahmed said that a loose rule for 5G was: Large spaces of about half a million square feet or more benefit. Consider your security needsIf your business deals with sensitive data or requires high levels of security, 5G can be a wise choice. And 5G security is significantly more robust than anything WiFi has today because of that."

Businesses may elect to build their own private 5G networks. Experts recommend building and securing a 5G network the same way you would a cloud network. Here are three threats to consider when building your own private 5G network. It's therefore important to constantly monitor how your private 5G network evolves over time — and watch for incursions from unrecognized sources in and out of the network. "Traffic entering and leaving all entry points into the 5G network should be monitored and inspected for threats," said Sandhu.

But finding the right infrastructure provider to support your organization can be tricky. But how can you separate the wheat from the chaff and pick the right infrastructure provider for you? "First and foremost, when selecting your 5G infrastructure provider, evaluate the longevity and reliability of their solutions," Vance Tran, a cofounder of the tech-advisory website Pointer Clicker, said. "For enterprise-centric private 5G deployments, it is essential to choose a provider that has considered the nuances of the enterprise world," Parm Sandhu, the vice president of enterprise 5G products and services at NTT Ltd, said. "That means the private 5G must be an extension of the existing LAN."

Two experts in 5G technology and cybersecurity, Rahim Tafazolli and Alan Woodward of the University of Surrey, spoke to Insider about the key steps organizations should take to develop a secure 5G network. Understand your needs and hire the right staffThe first thing to check is whether you need a 5G network, and if so, how you should scope it. Evaluate public versus private 5G optionsIf you don't have the full complement of telecom skills required, it's much safer to rely on those who do to provide you with a secure 5G network. A public 5G network slice from a mobile operator may, in that instance, be better than a private, on-premise 5G network that you have to maintain in-house. Implement monitoring and automationOperating a 5G network requires extensive telecom expertise that many enterprises lack.

"We have not completed the deployment of 5G yet," Ha Min Yong, chief development officer of SK Telecom , told CNBC last week. However, after hundreds of billions of dollars of investment into 5G networks, carriers have struggled to see the return. I don't see any use cases today that we can't do with 5G or its immediate evolutions," Watson told CNBC last week. Many of the current 5G networks are built on top of equipment and technology from 4G. There will also be more software that powers 5G networks helping with efficiency such as the management of data traffic.
