**5G is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything** including machines, objects and devices, shaping how people and industries communicate.

- ‍**“5G is not just phones…** it’s also smart factories, connected cars, connected hospitals, retail — it’s much larger,” says Kirti Gupta, vice president of Economic Strategy at Qualcomm Incorporated.

**Why it’s important:** These improvements will advance the entire mobile ecosystem, open the door to transforming industries and improve experiences for end-users who crave the fastest and best connectivity.

**[Qualcomm’s 5G breakthroughs](https://www.qualcomm.com/join-us)** are helping to provide better, faster connectivity to some of the most vital industries:‍

**1‍. The education transformation**

**The pandemic** proved just how crucial connectivity is for students to continue their education and it accelerated the urgency to close the digital divide in education.

**5G’s increased data capacity, state-of-the-art devices and faster speeds** can make a dramatic difference in digitally equipped classrooms and remote learning settings.‍

- ‍**For example**, the power of 5G combined with built-in cellular connectivity, such as[ Always On, Always Connected PCs](https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2021/05/10/future-pc-how-5g-connectivity-will-transform-laptop-computing-modern-mobile-pcs), can not only bring robust and ubiquitous connectivity to students who have limited internet access but can also break boundaries within the classroom by enabling interactive experiences such as AR- and AI-based learning.

**In addition**, 5G can address some of the “last mile” challenges via[ Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).](https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2021/02/09/fixed-wireless-access-fiber-through-air)‍

- **‍FWA enables extremely high-speed broadband** in rural and urban areas where fiber connections can be too cost-prohibitive to establish.‍
- **What this means**: Whether a student is in a remote area or a densely packed community, 5G can support equal access to digital resources.‍

**2. The health care revolution**

**Connectivity** is vital for health care.

**The idea:** Superior, security-rich 5G connectivity can unlock new solutions and capabilities to facilitate the next leap forward in better patient care, data management and experiences.

**5G’s ubiquity** can help connect patients with doctors from a distance — greatly benefiting patients who may not have easy access to a hospital or clinic. COVID showed that patients and doctors need to be able to connect with one another instead of, or in addition to, meeting in person.

- The technology’s increased bandwidth and low latency allow for higher resolution videos and images, improving the quality of telemedicine.
- The ability to transfer data as quickly as possible can have huge benefits like allowing ambulances to swiftly transfer an emergency patient’s data to a doctor.

**5G** can also provide better in-hospital experiences, not only creating a completely connected hospital, but enabling health care professionals to connect with patients in and out of the hospital and to connect with numerous medical devices.‍

- ‍**What this means:** Instead of having disaggregated systems, 5G can provide a unified technology platform for connecting everything from sensors and location trackers to laptops and workstations.‍
- **Through a private 5G network**, hospitals can ensure that patient, user or staff data gets stored on-site — helping increase the privacy and security of that data.

**3. The impact on manufacturing**

**5G connectivity is paving the way for smart factories** that are more adaptable and efficient — enabling them to get products to consumers faster than ever before.

**What this means:** Wireless technology can meet the specific needs of a factory, making it much more flexible by connecting everything through wireless, reliable, private networks.‍

- **‍5G’s high reliability and ultra-low latency** allow factories to go wireless so that they can more easily reconfigure the floor to produce something in the morning and then something different in the afternoon. ‍
- **Going wireless with 5G** can result in “no downtime in rewiring or manufacturing, much higher productivity for manufacturers and more safety for workers,” says Gupta.

**The takeaway:** Qualcomm’s 5G breakthroughs bring the benefits of faster connectivity to those who need it most, improving a range of industries and helping make essential services, like health care and education, more accessible.
