In KPMG ’ s report ‘ Unlocking the benefits of 5G for enterprise customers ’ KPMG professionals assessed the nature of the industries to understand when value might emerge . KPMG determined three time horizons :
1 . 0-3 years – Private or Campus use cases : These use cases are typified by industries where an organisation is centrally located or physically constrained and lends itself well to a private 5G network in a limited geography . These kinds of network deployments will be the first point of call for many operators .
2 . 2-6 years – City use cases : When 5G networks become publicly accessible and introduced within or across cities , a range of industries will be positioned
to create value . Service-related industries requiring broader coverage , such as healthcare , mobility and professional services fall under this time horizon . The live entertainment industry and use cases involving customer ’ s experiences will be implemented under this timeframe .
3 . 5 + years : Beyond the five year timespan , KPMG expects the majority of telcos to have begun broad 5G deployments . While difficult to predict the impact in the future , it is important for MNOs to remain focused on the business challenges faced by their enterprise customers while adapting their business models to take advantage of edge computing advancements and the ultra-fast connectivity harnessed by 5G .
