Gearing up for 5G

This new communications standard could transform architectural decisions across the industry, but not right away and not necessarily in obvious ways

Siemens EDA will help engineers get the most out of the 5G wireless standard as it will have a significant impact on semiconductor architectures, from processor and memory choices to on-chip throughout, I/O speeds, power budgets and even battery sizes.
The mobile phone industry will be the biggest beneficiary of 5G as it will remain the largest consumer of the technology. Phones will continue to define standards and drive volume, and they will remain the largest source of funding for this tech.

5G has been touted as the new enabler for many market segments, including mobile phones, automotive, virtual reality, and IoT. But there are many questions and much speculation about when and how this new wireless standard will impact different market segments and what effect it will have on semiconductor design.

With a promise of orders of magnitude improvement in communication speed and low latency, systems vendors will need to decide between whether to process data locally or in the cloud, and how much should be done where. That will have a significant impact on semiconductor architectures, from processor and memory choices to on-chip throughput, I/O speeds, power budgets and even battery sizes. In addition, those decisions will be affected by access to 5G infrastructure and frequency of communication.
