Japan 5G: Tokyo Olympics Will Explore New Use-Cases, But Smart Cities Will Drive Deployment

摘要

1. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics will see the showcase of novel 5G applications, but smart city roll-outs - led by government initiatives - will underpin the uptake of 5G services in Japan. 2. Significant opportunities are also present in the provision of telehealth and telecare services over 5G for Japan’s significant elderly demographic. 3. Challenges to 5G adoption lie largely in low enterprise readiness and rising geopolitical tensions, which could potentially impact supply chains.
