Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm
envisioned to provide massive applications that are now part of
our daily lives. Millions of smart devices are deployed within
complex networks to provide vibrant functionalities including
communications, monitoring, and controlling of critical infrastructures. However, this massive growth of IoT devices and the corresponding huge data traffic generated at the edge of the network created additional burdens on the state-of-the-art
centralized cloud computing paradigm due to the bandwidth and
resources scarcity. Hence, edge computing (EC) is emerging as
an innovative strategy that brings data processing and storage
near to the end users, leading to what is called EC-assisted IoT.
Although this paradigm provides unique features and enhanced
quality of service (QoS), it also introduces huge risks in data security and privacy aspects. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on security and privacy issues in the context of EC-assisted IoT. In particular, we first present an overview of EC-assisted IoT including definitions, applications, architecture, advantages, and challenges. Second, we define security and privacy in the context of EC-assisted IoT. Then, we extensively discuss the major classifications of attacks in EC-assisted IoT and provide possible solutions and countermeasures along with the related research efforts. After that, we further classify some security and privacy issues as discussed in the literature based on security services and based on security objectives and functions. Finally, several open challenges and future research directions for secure EC-assisted IoT paradigm are also extensively provided.

BUILDING AN OPEN RAN ECOSYSTEM FOR EUROPEDESMOND YUEN
Five companies—Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, and Vodafone—published a report outlining why they feel Europe as a whole is lagging behind other regions such as the U.S. and Japan in developing Open RAN. The companies point to both a lack of companies developing key components, notably silicon chips, for Open RAN technologies, as well as the need to get incumbent equipment vendors Ericsson and Nokia on board with Open RAN development.
An Introduction to Semiconductors and IntelDESMOND YUEN
Did you know that...
The average American adult spends over 12 hours a day engaged with electronics — computers, mobile devices, TVs, cars, to name just a few — powered by semiconductors.
A common chip the size of your smallest fingernail is only about 1-millimeter thick but contains roughly 30 different layers of components and wires (called interconnects) that make up its complex circuitry.
Intel owns nearly 70,000 active patents worldwide. Its first — “Resistor for Integrated Circuit,” #3,631,313 — was granted to Gordon Moore on Dec. 28, 1971.
Those are a few fun facts in a high-level presentation that provides an easy-to-understand look at the world of semiconductors, why they matter and the role Intel plays in their creation.
Changing demographics and economic growth bloomDESMOND YUEN
This document discusses key trends in global demographics and their implications. It notes that while population growth rates have declined globally, absolute numbers continue to rise significantly each decade. Less developed regions now encompass most of the world's population and will continue to see the vast majority of population increases. Mortality declines and fertility declines have driven major shifts in population age structures. Younger populations in places like Africa and South Asia may benefit economic growth if policies support labor force participation and human capital development, while aging societies globally face challenges supporting retirees that policies aim to address.

4. The next generation of wireless connectivity, 5G, is
becoming a ubiquitous topic but is still the subject
of many myths and misconceptions. Although
various use cases are emerging, only a few are
compelling enough to generate strong demand
in the short term. To help advanced electronics
companies and industrials gain clarity about
the best opportunities, we researched over
150 potential 5G use cases, focusing on the 5G
Internet of Things (IoT) business-to-business
(B2B) market, especially developments expected
over the next few years. As part of our analysis,
we reviewed the events that occurred during the
introduction of 4G and other technologies, since
that could provide clues about how the 5G market
might evolve. We also interviewed industry experts
to see how they viewed 5G’s potential evolution.
Many companies will derive great
value from 5G IoT – but it will come
in waves
— The first 5G IoT use cases to gain traction
will be those related to enhanced mobile
broadband (EMBB). Those for ultra-reliable,
low-latency communication (URLLC) will
followshortlythereafter;usecasesformassive
machine-typecommunication(MMTC)willtake
several more years to gain ground.
— Businesses poised to benefit from the growth
of 5G include mobile operators and net-work
providers, component and module suppliers,
machineryandindustrialautomationcompanies,
aswellasmanufacturingcompanies.
B2B opportunities abound, especially
in Industry 4.0
— Within the B2B sector, the most relevant short-
term opportunities for 5G IoT involve Industry
4.0—the digitization of manufacturing and
other production processes. In this segment,
5G will provide clear performance benefits for
several use cases.
— The Industry 4.0 segment will account for sales
of about 22 million 5G IoT units in 2030, with
most applications related to manufacturing.
— In other B2B segments, such as smart city,
smart energy, and connected health, 5G IoT
will be the technology of choice only for niche
applications.
The 5G module market is evolving
— At launch, 5G IoT modules will cost two to three
times as much as 4G modules, but prices will
steadily decline.
— In the B2B sphere, total revenue for 5G IoT
modules will increase from about USD 180
millionin2022toalmostUSD10billionby2030.
— By 2030, 5G low-power, wide-area (LPWA)
modules are expected to account for almost
30percentoftotalB2B5GIoTmodulerevenues.
— In terms of use cases, almost all value will
initially come from distinctive use cases where
5G IoT provides a clear performance benefit;
few manufacturers will incorporate 5G into
their devices simply to ensure future readiness.
— In 2030, 5G will be incorporated into devices
primarily because it has become the industry
standard; the use of 5G to enable distinctive
use cases with clear performance benefits will
be less common.
It’s time for 5G players to revamp
their strategies
— Advanced electronics companies should
initially focus on B2B use cases that are similar
to those now being deployed in the business-
to-consumer (B2C) sector; over the medium
to long term, they should focus on developing
chipsets and modules tailored to specific
applications.
— Industrial automation players should first
focus on B2B use cases in which they can take
advantage of existing B2C components; they
should initially focus on early movers in the
B2B space.
— Over the medium to long term, industrial
automation players should create a com-
prehensive portfolio of 5G IoT products.
— Manufacturing players that want to move ahead
with 5G should create a long list of potential 5G
use cases, prioritize the most distinctive ones,
find partners to help develop solutions, and
initiate rollout at lighthouse factories.
— Manufacturing companies should consider
creating private networks to support their
efforts, so they do not have to depend on
telecommunications operators.
Executive summary
4 Executive summary
5. The next generation of wireless connectivity
has arrived: 5G has the capacity to support a
huge number of connections simultaneously
while improving speed, latency, reliability, and
power consumption for handsets and Internet
of Things (IoT) devices. Spectrum auctions are
almost complete, the first 5G-ready smartphones
have hit the market, and network deployment
has begun around the world. Currently, most 5G
innovations involve the business-to-consumer
(B2C) market, primarily because network operators
are attempting to optimize operational costs
and handset makers want to differentiate
their products. More recently, however, many
new opportunities have begun to open in the
business-to-business (B2B) sphere.
As with the transition from 3G to 4G, advanced
electronics companies and industrial players
are still uncertain about the benefits of the new
technology. Where is the value coming from,
and who is going to capture it? What are the use
cases where 5G performance enhancements
will generate most value and demand? Which
applications will most benefit from 5G? Many
companies did not ask such questions when 4G
emerged and only achieved subpar returns. The
dangerexiststhatthisscenariocouldrepeatwith5G.
To provide greater clarity on future value pools for
advanced electronics companies and industrials,
we investigated the 5G market through 2030,
looking at over 150 potential B2B and B2C use
cases, including their potential growth and
technological requirements. We concentrated
on 5G use cases related to IoT in the business
sphere, rather than the more predictable market
for consumer handsets, because companies
are still uncertain about the B2B space—both
the areas for greatest value capture and the
timeline over which 5G IoT applications will gain
traction within business. We also looked at the
introduction of 4G and other technologies to
understand how 5G might evolve and interviewed
experts to understand market nuances.
Our research allowed us to make projections
about use case uptake, demand for modules and
components, and other important developments.
Notably, we uncovered numerous pockets
of growth within the B2B sphere. Advanced
electronics companies that provide 5G modules
and components can use this information to
optimize their product portfolios. Similarly, the
insights will help industrial players determine how
they can enhance their operations, products, and
business models through 5G technology.
Introduction

6. Players are intrigued by 5G because it immensely
improves speed, latency, reliability, and power
consumption while supporting more device
connections (Exhibit 1). Although 5G does not yet
provide optimal results for all these dimensions
simultaneously because of current technological
and infrastructure limitations, it will eventually
become the technology of choice for critical
communications that require extreme reliability
and service quality, including those within
industrial settings.

6 1 A comprehensive view of the 5G value proposition
7. Archetypes of 5G IoT use cases
According to the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP), an organization that develops
telecommunication standards, 5G primarily
delivers value by enhancing three applications:
— Enhanced mobile broadband (EMBB), which
provides faster data rates across wide
coverage areas to improve various functions,
including ultra-HD video streaming
— Ultra-reliable, low-latency communication
(URLLC), which increase the speed and quality
of service in critical functions, such as the
control of robots and drones
— Massive machine-type communication
(MMTC), which involves the automatic
generation, transmission, and processing of
data among numerous machines with little to
no human intervention (for instance, to track
goods along the supply chain).
The adoption of 5G will likely happen in waves in
majormarkets,withEMBBreachingmassadoption
first, URLLC gaining traction soon afterward,
and MMTC trailing the pack (Exhibit 2). For each
application profile, adoption will largely depend
on the availability of appropriate 5G chipsets, the
speed and coverage of 5G network deployments,
as well as the evolution of regulations.

Projected start of accelerated growth
71 A comprehensive view of the 5G value proposition
8. EMBB applications are growing quickly because
chipset manufacturers have already created 5G
chipsetsthatenablethistechnologyinsmartphones.
Chipset players are also designing similar products
for B2B use. On the infrastructure side, mobile
operators are significantly investing in the 5G
deployments essential for EMBB growth, currently
focusing on large cities.
For URLLC to gain traction, both 5G networks
and chipsets must advance technologically. First,
chipset manufacturers must expand their focus
from mass-market EMBB and create specialized
products optimized for reliability and latency.
The development and testing of these chipsets
will likely require about three to four more years,
making it unlikely that URLLC-enabled devices will
be widely used before 2023.
Even as 5G grows, 4G will continue to exist and
provide extensive coverage at lower cost. In con-
sequence, MMTC applications that require low-
power, wide-area (LPWA) coverage will continue
to rely on 4G technology over the next few years.
MMTC-enabled use cases using 5G networks will
not gain traction until 5G coverage is available
outside major cities—a development not expected
until at least 2025.
Current 4G LPWA modules are expected to achieve
5G compatibility through software upgrades,
since 5G standards include 4G specifications. But
companies are also developing new 5G LPWA
modules from scratch with additional features that
distinguish them from modules upgraded from 4G,
including lower device-level energy consumption
and increased or more flexible data rates. In this
article, we focus on newly developed 5G LPWA
modules, rather than those upgraded from 4G.
Companies poised to win
The growth of 5G will benefit many businesses –
both users and suppliers of this technology or
related infrastructure. For instance, operators and
network providers will be able to enhance network
performance, capacity, and customer experience.
Within advanced electronics, our analysis suggests
that three groups—component and module
suppliers, machinery and industrial-automation
players, as well as manufacturing players—are
particularly well positioned to realize gains.
Component and module suppliers
Leading IoT module providers are also exploring
how they can position specific products in the
market. Both component and module providers
are investing in RD while simultaneously looking
into chipsets for specialized applications. In
addition to developing 5G modules, suppliers
are pursuing many other innovations, such as
modifications that decrease device size and
strategies for integration with other modules.
Machinery and industrial automation players
These companies are investigating which products
will benefit from 5G upgrades. This technology
will also enable new autonomously operated and
remotely managed products that will improve
factory operations, such as automated guided
vehicles (AGVs).
Manufacturing players
Research suggests that 5G will stimulate the next
wave of industrial automation in manufacturing by
enabling many innovations, such as vision quality
checks involving cameras, computer vision, and
machinelearning.Manycompaniesaredetermining

capture
Although 5G will clearly disrupt both the B2C and
B2B markets, this technology is not a panacea.
While industry insiders understand 5G’s limits,
some press reports have encouraged consumers
to have unrealistic expectations. In our research
and expert interviews, we took a hard look at
facts to dispel the hype that has arisen from blurry
marketing and wishful thinking.
5G will not close white spots in 4G coverage
The first 5G network deployments rely on 4G
network infrastructure, which is now undergoing
additional densification. Eventually, companies
will build stand-alone 5G networks from scratch,
with deployment expected to begin in major cities
and metropolitan areas. As a second step, 5G
deployments will occur along major transport
routes, such as highways and railways. In general,
5G cells will be smaller than 4G ones and thus
require more access points per area. In selected
rural areas, 5G will make use of lower frequencies
to increase its reach at a reduced data rate. Given
this pattern, it will likely take several years for 5G
coverage to reach rural areas with high bandwidth.
The exact time frames will depend on local
regulations.
Over the short term, 5G is not always necessary
At present, 5G is essential only for selected use
cases. It provides the greatest performance
enhancements—and thus most value—for data-
heavy applications, use cases requiring ultralow
latency, and environments with a massive number
of connections. In other instances, existing
alternatives, such as LoRa, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and
fixed connections, might be more suitable and
economical. Over the short term, companies will
capture full value only from 5G applications that
require coverage in a restricted area, such as a
production site. They will not capture full value
from 5G applications that require coverage over
a large area until 5G networks become widely
available.
5G is currently not required for autonomous
driving
Many consumers, and even some journalists,
believe that 5G is essential for autonomous driving.
But OEMs know that they cannot expect full 5G
coverage on all roads, at least in the immediate
future, so they are creating cars that have the
sensors and computational power necessary to
enable autonomous driving in offline mode. For
vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure
communication, both of which are essential to
autonomous driving, 4G connectivity or Wi-Fi
protocols are currently sufficient. Likewise, 4G
supports all current in-car IoT use cases, such
as entertainment, navigation, and emergency
response systems.
Eventually, OEMs will incorporate 5G modules
into cars to enable future IoT use cases, such as
onboard 4K video streaming and 3-D navigation.
After 2030, Level 5 autonomous cars—those
capable of self-driving—will use 5G as a
communication technology because of its low
latency, high reliability, and bandwidth.
5G is not simply a technical upgrade from 4G
5G will enable technical upgrades to tablets and
smartphones. Beyond better HD video streaming
and other high-bandwidth applications, consumers
will not notice many performance differences.
Within the industrial sector, however, 5G represents
a massive leap forward. Although 5G networks will
initially be built on 4G infrastructure, companies
will eventually create a new and densified network
infrastructure with different antennas, more and
smaller cells, as well as higher computational
power. In terms of performance, 5G will deliver a
much greater degree of improvement than earlier
advances in wireless technology, particularly in
terms of speed, latency, and energy efficiency.
With these features, 5G will enable better
performance for existing use cases and open up
entirely new ones.

10. Every new technology brings obvious advantages.
What’s less clear is where it can deliver business
value—and that is the case with 5G IoT. To help
companiesdirecttheirinvestmentstotherightareas,
we analyzed over 150 potential B2B and B2C use
casesthatrequiredeitherEMBB,URLLC,orMMTC.
We also explored the rationale for applying 5G to a
use case. In some instances—what we refer to as
distinctiveusecases—5Gwasaclearprerequisiteor

For B2B, our analysis primarily uncovered 5G use
cases in the following industry segments:
— Industry 4.0, including autonomous systems
in factories
1 Our analysis included only connections using frequencies in the licensed spectrum.
— Smart cities, with applications such as HD
cameras to monitor safety
— Smart energy, such as smart grid control
— Connected offices, including sensor-based
building management
— Smart security, including provision of
emergency services
— Connected health, such as mobile medical
monitoring.
In these areas, we found more than 60 distinctive
B2B use cases in which 5G will be the communi-
cation technology of choice. In addition, we found
many new standard use cases where 5G will
replace existing connectivity solutions to ensure
future readiness. Although our analysis is accurate
for this point in time, additional 5G use cases may
emerge later.

11. As new use cases gain traction, B2B 5G IoT unit
sales will soar. In 2025, more than 27 million units
will be sold, with 68 percent for distinctive use
cases and 32 percent for new standard use cases
(Exhibit 3). By 2030, sales of B2B 5G IoT units will
rise to about 250 million annually, but the source of
demand will change. New standard use cases will
account for about 82 percent of sales that year,
with only 18 percent linked to distinctive use cases.
With these trends in mind, we then explored
what distinctive use cases were most likely to
account for 5G IoT sales in the B2B sphere.
We focused on distinctive use cases, because
they will drive 5G RD and encourage companies
to create supporting infrastructure. (We also
explored distinctive consumer use cases, but
those are beyond the scope of this document.)
Of the 45 million units expected to be sold in
2030 for distinctive use cases, about half the
demand—approximately 22 million units—will
come from Industry 4.0 applications (Exhibit 4).

112 Promising B2B 5G IoT use cases
12. Within factories and plants, the current
connectivity options have several major
drawbacks that make it difficult to implement
Industry 4.0 use cases. Wi-Fi networks often
encounter interference, particularly in dense
settings, and fixed connections are cumbersome
and costly in large manufacturing environments.
With the introduction of 5G, manufacturing
companies will get a reliable alternative that
enables the communication essential to many
Industry 4.0 applications, such as the wireless
control that is especially critical for mobile tools,
machines, and robots.
Distinctive 5G IoT use cases in
Industry 4.0
When looking only at distinctive use cases for
Industry 4.0, we found that manufacturing will
drive most demand for B2B 5G IoT units from
2021 through 2030. At that point, manufacturing
will account for over half of all 5G sales for
distinctive use cases (Exhibit 5). For all years
from 2021 through 2030, 5G IoT demand will be
more moderate for other distinctive use cases
within Industry 4.0, including those related to
construction and mining, supply chain, and
agriculture.

12 3 The 5G IoT value proposition for Industry 4.0
13. Based on our research, some of the most com-
pelling distinctive use cases within industrial
manufacturing relate to the following innovations
and technologies.
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
At factories, AGVs now rely on sensors to assist
with navigation and collision control. They
typically operate in fixed paths or have only
basic capabilities for optimizing routes. The next
generation of AGVs will use advanced analytics
and machine learning—the ability of computer
systems to analyze information and “learn” from
experience—to make decisions. These capa-
bilities will allow AGVs to review data and make
sophisticated navigation decisions—for instance,
avoiding areas that are congested with other
vehicles – provided that they have 5G networks
to enable high-speed wireless connectivity, low
latency, and reliable communication. In addition,
5G will help next-generation AGVs to run control
software and process data in the edge cloud,
providing them with immense computing power at
a lower cost than onboard processing.
3-D bin picking
At most factories, machines pick parts from bins
by taking items from a fixed location. With 5G
IoT, robots will be able to use sophisticated vision
systems to locate parts, regardless of their location.
Some companies are already moving ahead with
these innovations. Pickit, for example, has created
robots equipped with HD cameras that can use
computer vision to locate parts. Since 5G enhances
computing power beyond device capacity, data
analysis can occur in the edge cloud. The robots
themselves require minimal processing power.
Real-time process control
Companies can capture significant value by using
advanced analytics applications to optimize and
adjust process parameters in real time. With its
wireless, reliable, and low-latency communication,
5G enables this capability. Rather than building
a production plant, companies can retrofit
old machines with 5G modules and conduct
sensor-driven analyses. The upgrade to 5G is
particularly important in process industries, since
most member companies typically have aging
equipment and complex, costly fixed networks
that extend across large sites.
Augmented reality (AR)
Workers can use AR glasses that display
instructions in their visual field to guide the
workflow in various tasks, such as quality
inspections. Here, 5G is an enabler, since AR
glasses must process data in real time to provide a
seamless and responsive experience. Low-latency
and high-speed communication will allow AR data
processing to occur within the edge cloud, which
decreases costs and increases energy efficiency.
Vision quality checks
Artificial intelligence (AI) enables significant
performance improvements in vision quality
systems. Thanks to its low latency and high
reliability, 5G will improve such remote and real-
time analytics by allowing vision quality systems to
spot deviations in a unit quickly. Furthermore, 5G
may decrease training and deployment time. While
development of traditional machine vision models is
complex and requires several months, AI algorithms
can be trained and deployed within weeks.
133 The 5G IoT value proposition for Industry 4.0
14. Private-network opportunities
With the advent of 5G, industrial companies are
becoming more interested in private networks,
because they satisfy their stringent data security
requirements while simultaneously providing
great reliability, performance, and coverage.
Such networks have existed for years, but they
are common only at public-safety organizations.
Regulators in several countries are facilitating
the creation of private 5G networks for industrial
companies by allocating spectrum for their use. In
these locations, large industrials will probably be
the first to set up private 5G networks, beginning
around 2020. Mid-size companies and other
industrials are not expected to follow until 2023 or
2024. There are four potential 5G private-network
models that B2B players can follow.
Independent networks
As the name suggests, all elements of independent
networks are fully private and no components are
shared. This archetype may be best for companies
with highly specialized needs and large-scale
operations. Some industrials, including the auto-
motive manufacturers Bosch, Daimler, and VW,
have already started testing independent networks
with support from network equipment providers.
Companies can build and maintain independent
networks themselves or receive assistance
from telcos, network equipment providers, or
other third parties. Costs vary significantly,
depending on the size of the site and a company’s
specific needs (for instance, the number of device
connections and requirements for latency, speed,
and reliability). Consider a shop floor of 2,000
square meters with high latency and reliability
requirements coupled with a need for very dense
network coverage. For this location, infrastructure
could cost up to USD 700,000.
Shared networks
Different companies at the same geographic
location may share the radio access network (both
antennas and base stations) while the core and
application layers remain private. A third party
will typically manage this shared network. This
approach may be advantageous when multiple
companies occupy the same location, such as at
shipping terminals or industrial campuses.
Mobile virtual network operator (MVNO)
networks
MVNOs do not use a physical infrastructure.
Instead, they use a virtual layer provided by a
mobile operator to enable the network.
Network slicing
In this model, a mobile operator provides a virtual
private network on top of its physical network
infrastructure to fulfill a company’s specific
requirements. It is easily deployable and relatively
inexpensive because network elements are
shared. Thus, it is most appropriate for small-
scale manufacturing sites that are covered by a
commercial network.
14 3 The 5G IoT value proposition for Industry 4.0
15. With demand for 5G IoT growing, we wanted to
understand the market from the perspective of
module and component suppliers. We therefore
studied product demand, price trends, revenue
pools, and the best use cases.
The 5G IoT module market
We expect IoT players to offer three types of 5G
modules for B2B use cases:
— Standard modules. Used for classic 5G
scenarios that require EMBB, such as ultra-HD
video streaming.
— Special-purpose modules. Designed for
specific use cases that require URLLC, such
as autonomous systems and mission-critical
control. Their price may be high, since they
often must be designed for use in extreme
temperatures or rugged conditions. Special-
purpose modules also require additional RD
and are sold in lower quantities.
— 5G LPWA modules. Used for long-distance
communication, such as transmissions from
sensors with low data rates. They will have
an evolving and strong role in the growth of
5G IoT, since they help enable some MMTC
applications.
2
It is also possible that declines will be greater than 10 percent annually; we created alternative scenarios that showed declines of up to
20 percent.
Companies will create standard and special-
purpose 5G modules by upgrading existing
4G modules. Existing 4G LPWA modules can
be made 5G compatible through software
upgrades, but some companies are creating
new versions from scratch to increase energy
efficiency and provide higher data rates. As noted
earlier, our analysis of 5G LPWA modules focuses
on modules created from scratch.
Price evolution
We expect 5G modules to cost two to three times
as much as 4G modules at launch. In 2020, the
average selling price will be approximately USD 35
for 5G LPWA modules, USD 80 for standard
modules, and USD 180 for special-purpose
modules in our base case (Exhibit 6). We created
our estimates based on baseband prices for the
first 5G smartphones andcurrentpricesfor4G
technology.Thepredicted price increase from 4G
to 5G is in line with premiums seen with previous
technology advancements. For example, 4G was
about 200 percent more expensive than 3G in its
first year of launch, while 3G HSPA+ was about 330
percent more expensive than 2G edge premium.
As with previous technologic advances, we expect
the average selling price of 5G modules to decline
steadily. In our base case, we predicted that values
will fall by 10 percent per year through 2025.2
After 2025, prices should stabilize, because
new add-on features will offset decreases in the
average selling price. If this occurs, prices will be
about USD 20 for 5G LPWA modules, USD 50
for standard modules, and USD 105 for special-
purpose modules in 2030.

In the B2B sphere, we expect total revenue for 5G
IoT modules to increase from about USD 180

(Exhibit 7). Duringthefirstyearsof5G,standard

18. The evolution of revenue sources
As noted earlier, module demand will evolve over
time, shifting the source of value. In 2022, almost
all of the three million 5G IoT modules sold in the
B2B sector will be linked to distinctive use cases.
By 2030, however, new standard use cases will
account for over 75 percent of sales (Exhibit 8).
During that year, Industry 4.0 will drive the
most revenues for distinctive use cases (about
USD 1.1 billion). The connected-health segment
will drive the most revenue for new standard use
cases (USD 1.8 billion).

19. The 5G IoT component market
With module sales increasing, component
providers will benefit. The greatest gains will
go to providers of radio chips and application
processors—the active components—with B2B
revenue for this group expected to reach about
USD 560 million by 2025 and USD 4.1 billion by
2030 (Exhibit 9). Next in line will be providers of
passive components, such as antennae, who will
see revenue rise from USD 188 million to USD 1.3
billion over the same period. Providers of testing,
assembly, and packaging also will see revenue
increases.
Active components will account for 60 to
65 percent of total costs per IoT module, and
passive components will represent 20 to 22
percent of total costs. Testing, assembly, and
packaging come in last, at 15 to 18 percent.
Together, these three areas will account for about
70 percent of module costs, leaving module
suppliers with a margin of 30 percent.

20. As with previous wireless technologies, 5G will
foster innovation, enable new use cases, and
trigger widespread adoption until it becomes
standard. Companies see the writing on the wall,
and they are already preparing to incorporate 5G
into their operations and product offerings, even if
they have no immediate need for it. But what is the
best path forward?
Advanced electronics players: Using
B2C innovations to launch B2B
opportunities
Advanced electronics players are most likely to
capture value in the short term if they pursue B2B
use cases that are similar to those now gaining
traction in B2C. For instance, they could create
use cases that involve smart glasses and high-
bandwidth mobile-streaming consoles. Suitable
5G chips are already available for B2C and could
serve as a basis for the new B2B applications,
such as HD video transmission for security
cameras and the use of AR or VR. To pilot such
use cases in B2B settings and establish new sales
channels, advanced electronics companies must
identify potential partners, such as distributors,
software companies, as well as machinery and
industrial automation players.
Over the medium to long term, advanced
electronics players should focus on creating
chipsets and modules tailored to specific
applications, such as use cases that require
URLLC. Promising use cases include those
related to collaborative robots, remote-controlled
machinery, and AGVs. In particular, component
suppliers and IoT module providers should
concentrate on developing the next generation
of 5G LPWA chipsets to decrease energy
consumption and increase bandwidth for devices
and modules, since this advance would allow
scaling MMTC use cases.
Industrial automation players:
Becoming 5G ready now
With the first wave of 5G applications transforming
the B2C segment, industrial automation companies
have the opportunity to learn from this experience.
They can also use established B2C 5G IoT modules
as a starting point when refurbishing existing B2B
products with the new technology.
As noted earlier, the number of 5G IoT modules
designed for distinctive Industry 4.0 use cases
should begin to soar in 2023 as companies
pursue applications related to warehousing,
manufacturing, supply chain, and other areas. By
2030, module sales for distinctive Industry 4.0
applications should reach about 22 million units.
Companies that develop a 5G strategy now will be
best prepared to capture value from this growth.
For their first step, industrials should determine
which distinctive use cases are most popular with
B2B customers who are early 5G adopters. They
should then determine how they must enhance
their products to meet the requirements of these
use cases. To develop a better understanding
of market developments and customer needs,
industrials should ensure that their salespeople
are trained to identify emerging 5G B2B use
cases, determine any necessary enhancements
to the product portfolio or product features,
and communicate their findings to product
development. With much uncertainty remaining
about 5G B2B use case adoption, including timing,
industrials should frequently review their portfolio
of 5G-enabled product offerings.
Over the medium to long term, industrials might
benefit from a comprehensive portfolio of
5G-enabled products. To create this portfolio, they
must have a clear architecture strategy with cost-
optimized optional 5G modules and promote 5G
module use across the product portfolio.
5 Strategic implications for advanced
electronics companies and industrials
20 5 Strategic implications for advanced electronics companies and industrials
21. Manufacturing players: Focusing on
partnerships
Manufacturing players that want to move ahead
with 5G should first create a long list of potential
B2B use cases, noting whether they are distinctive
or designed to satisfy new standards. They should
then prioritize distinctive use cases with the
highest value; additional use cases can be rolled
out after 5G coverage is widely available.
Giventhebreadthandcomplexityof5Gapplications,
manufacturersmayrequirepartnerstodeveloptheir
solutionsandsecurethebestreturnofinvestment.
Some of the best partners include the following:
— IoT module providers or industrial automation
providers who have developed 5G hardware
and 5G-enabled products
— Connectivity infrastructure providers for
private 5G networks (for larger companies) or
telecommunication operators for public 5G
networks(forsmallandmedium-sizeenterprises)
— Software infrastructure and application pro-
viders, such as IoT cloud platform providers
that offer real-time processing and other
5G-enabled features
— Solution providers that specialize in
implementing 5G use cases.
Early movers have already started their 5G B2B
partnerships. For example, Ericsson has signed
an agreement to implement 5G technology in Audi
Production Lab, and Volkswagen is working with
AWS to build an industrial cloud for IoT devices. In
this environment, industrials that create internal
5G teams to assess potential partners and their
offerings may have an advantage.
After developing 5G solutions, manufacturers
shouldimplementthemfirstinlighthousefactories –
the manufacturing plants that are typically
the most advanced in the network and first to
deploy new solutions. Lighthouse staff focus
on continuous improvement and will easily see
the value of 5G use cases. For best results, a
designated 5G transformation team should lead
the tactical plant rollout and assign change agents
to various sites. Ideally, the team will also serve as
the interface between the 5G development team
and staff at plants.
Once the lighthouse rollout is complete, manu-
facturers should try to achieve the same benefits
at scale by expanding to other plants. They should
first deploy 5G solutions at plants where minimal
investment is required to become ready. Then they
can move to other locations.
5G has already gained adherents in the B2C segment, and business players can build on this base.
Although this technology offers many opportunities, advanced electronics companies and industrials
must place their bets carefully to ensure a strong return on investment over the next few years. The
companies that move now to pursue distinctive use cases and prepare for standardization may be the
ones that will capture the greatest returns.
