Use cases for 5G mmWave

Some of the use cases for 5G mmWave include:

1. Fixed wireless internet access: 5G mmWave gigabit data rates can completely replace a variety of Internet access technologies with hybrid fiber and wireless networks that connect subscribers.

2. Outdoor small cell for urban/suburban environment: A promising deployment scenario for
5G mmWaves is to increase capacity in demanding public spaces and venues.

3. Mission-critical control application: Self-driving cars, vehicle-to-vehicle communications, and drone communications provide similar deployment scenarios for 5G mmWave with less than 1-millisecond predictive network delays.

4. Indoor hotspot cells: Offices, shopping malls, and other indoor areas require high-density 5G mmWave microcells. These small cells can support download speeds up to 20 Gbps, providing seamless access to cloud data and the ability to support multiple applications and various forms of entertainment and multimedia.

5. Internet of Things: Potentially, it covers smart home applications, security, energy management, logistics and tracking, healthcare, etc.
