5G wireless communications presents many sectors of the economy with tremendous opportunity to heighten efficiency, reduce costs and improve worker safety. Some of the most promising applications of 5G technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) include the ability to collect, process and efficiently transfer large data volume for analytics; ultra-reliable low-latency connections that will enable Artificial Intelligence solutions and equipment automation; real-time monitoring of remote locations and facilities for environmental, safety, and security reasons. Like many great economic opportunities, these revolutionary applications and use cases will present their share of legal challenges, and these challenges will require effective solutions that cut across legal disciplines and practices. This panel will provide a legal perspective on the opportunities and challenges associated with emerging 5G technology.
