AMTA CEO Louise Hyland discusses the future of 5G in Australia. She outlines how 5G will enable new technologies and benefit various industries. While Australia is a global leader in 5G infrastructure, business adoption remains low. AMTA aims to work with key industries like smart cities, agriculture, health and transport to boost awareness and drive 5G implementation. Their upcoming report will analyze barriers to uptake and economic benefits of accelerating 5G adoption across different sectors.

5. State of Play – Australia’s 5G Opportunity.
Australia is a world leader
in 5G, currently ranked
third in global rankings*,
with over 4000
5G base stations deployed
the end of 2021

Trials of 5G technology
and support for
innovation are
being supported by the
Australian Government’s
5G Innovation Initiative
There are significant economic
benefits to be gained from the
adoption of 5G across industry,
including innovation, jobs,
productivity, global collaboration
& competitiveness
But our telecommunications industry cannot do it alone.
Other industry sectors can – and should – play a leading role in adopting this technology to
ensure the potential that has been created is realised and capitalised upon.

that have the potential to enable a new way of bringing to life the positive impact of 5G and demonstrate
to consumers and industry just how wide-reaching the benefits of 5G will be.
Smart Cities
• Energy efficiency
• Personal and home
applications
• Connected cameras
• Drones
• Autonomous farm
equipment
• Livestock monitoring
& feeding
Agriculture
• Robotic surgery
• Remote patient monitoring
and procedures
• Emergency response
(aeromedical deliveries)
Health
• Automated vehicles
and vehicle tracking
• VR/AR support
• Connected robots
Transport & Logistics

9. The next step: 5G Unleashed.
The report surveys 400 business
leaders across four key sectors:
Smart
manufacturing
Smart cities/
transport
Health Agriculture
• Having initiated the conversation with key
verticals to wake them up to the potential of
5G, the next step is to take a deeper look into
the factors that drive, or limit, uptake.
• AMTA has commissioned Deloitte Access
Economics to conduct a study on the economic
benefits of 5G for Australia, of a
faster rollout and more widespread adoption
of 5G and the policy and regulatory principles
required to support this.
• The report – 5G Unleashed – will be launched
next week.

12. In summary – three key takeaways.
12
The telco sector has
invested billions to get
here but now industries
which will benefit must
now pick up the baton
too.
Australia’s mobile
telecommunications
industry will continue to
focus on both demand
and supply issues while
fostering greater adoption.
Australia is at an
inflection point with
5G rollout where the
focus needs to turn
to adoption.
