Abstract
This chapter discusses the current global 5G market. It shows that although eMBB remains a significant segment of the commercial wireless market, the capabilities of 5G allow it to move beyond the eMBB and support vertical industries. This convergence of human-to-human communication with human-to-machine and machine-to-machine communications will be a key enabler of the fourth industrial revolution. How the industry plan to move forward, with a globally unified 5G standards and ecosystem from the different verticals, will be presented. Early 5G field trials and deployment plans will then be elucidated. The chapter and the book will conclude with a look forward on possible 5G developments.
