Let us talk about the major trends of 5G today and what is expected in 2020. The fifth-generation network will impact enterprise and consumer markets in different ways in 2020. According to reports, the adoption of 5G in enterprises will see a significant rise by 2025. The reason for that is that many different parts of the economy and many companies in different sectors of the economy are digitising their operations. This is sort of the industrial revolution comparison to Industry 4.0 and when you get into things like automation, robotics and remote healthcare applications, there is significant selling opportunities there for 5G tech because it offers much lower latency than previous. It is expected that the manufacturing and automotive sectors will see the greatest take up of 5G, but it will also help businesses thrive in the data-driven era. Let us focus on how 5G will impact the businesses across UK by bringing about efficient automation in 2020. ![info](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/info.png?width=721&name=info.png) # [Business Benefits of 5G](https://blog.savincom.co.uk/benefits-of-5g-that-work-wonders-for-small-companies): Faster internet speeds, increased traffic, and seamless tech integration are just a few business benefits, here are a few more benefits that may make your company consider investing in and prioritizing 5G technology:   - **Intelligent [IoT](https://www.savincom.co.uk/iot/)devices: **With the number of [IoT](https://www.savincom.co.uk/iot/)devices expected to increase with the release of 5G speeds, IoT-focused businesses can expect this highly-anticipated network to impact IoT devices significantly by enhancing infrastructure diagnoses systems and providing better data insights; both will strengthen a company's infrastructure, lowering the vulnerability of these devices, which are known to be more susceptible to cyber threats like cryptojacking. - **Network Slicing: **The multitude of uses and new services of emerging technology by businesses and consumers will require a flexible network that can provide a better user experience. With 5G tech businesses will be able to create multiple virtual networks with just one physical system. This network slicing can help companies provide an end-to-end virtual system encompassing not only networking but computing and storage functions as well. With 5G connections your business can offer consumers a more seamless experience. - **Multi-Access Edge Computing: **Through 5G tech, multi-access edge computing will assist in decongesting your company’s crowded network, even when supporting hundreds of devices at once. This cloud-based network architecture can not only decrease site congestion, but also will increase overall site performance. Besides handling large data loads and delivering results in real time, multi-access edge computing will also protect user data, through local computing versus a centralized network used currently. # **How 5G is bringing efficient automation to businesses** Last year, there were 4,000 business with automated warehouses in operation globally. However, forecasts say that by 2025, 4 million commercial robots will be operating in 50,000 warehouses across the globe. This huge projected jump is staggering but how is this possible? Connectivity. And that’s exactly what 5G is bringing to the table. Online shopping is obviously a huge business and the demand for faster, more efficient warehouses is incredibly high. Warehouse automation enhances customer experience whilst cutting costs, which is something that every business wants. # Cutting costs and boosting productivity As online shopping grows more competitive, as do warehouses. Labour makes up the bulk of all warehouse operating costs which is exactly why automation is what all warehouses strive to achieve. Whilst wages increase, the cost of mobile robots decrease. It seems like a simple solution for warehouse managers. Manual operations are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Mistakes can be avoided and productivity sky-rocketed thanks to the use of robots. However, this isn’t possible without fast and reliable connectivity, which is where 5G comes into play. Drones, automated forklifts, self-driving vehicles and autonomous mobile robots are all available to warehouse owners at a reasonable price. They can utilize 5G connectivity to follow orders and carry out the job without any hiccups. The low latency connectivity allows robots to work faster and provide real-time updates, making the idea of fully automated warehouses much more probable. # Why is 5G so important for businesses If you want an efficient, automated business, you need reliable and secure real-time connectivity. You need a strong connection that allows you to be flexible and change the demands of your robots instantly. Despite this, many warehouses still rely on hardwired systems that often suffer from interference and security issues. 5G will transform automated operations, bringing flexibility, reliability and speed to daily work. With online shopping being such a huge industry, it only makes sense for warehouses to invest money into improved processes and saving money in the long run.

They have reduced our monthly outgoings for our mobiles by a 1/5 of which we are very happy about. Maintenance Manager, Luxury Hotel Group Since moving to Savincom, we have received excellent and responsive customer service, the small number of issues we have experienced have been resolved in an efficient and expert manner. We have significantly reduced our running costs, with the proactive account management, currently running a reduction of c.40% on costs, the cost reduction has been most prevalent around roaming and international calling. The transfer from Vodafone Direct to Savincom Vodafone was smooth and seamless, with onsite support offered during the days of the transfer. If I was to score them out of 10, it would be 10 as the have excelled as a service partner. Office Manager, Leading Global Commodity Merchant We have worked with Savin Communications for four years now and we are delighted with the work carried out so far.  We have 300+ connections, so service needs to be of the highest quality, which is what we get with Savin Communications. We have a rapid staff turnover and Savin assist us when utilising connections. We used to be on a plan where we were constantly going over minutes and data allowances. Savin Communications has helped us source a much better quality plan and they understand the high standards that our organisation have and are most efficient in delivering well within time limits…. The account manager is always easy to contact and help is really appreciated, meetings with him are regular. The assistance and support we receive is always responsive, proactive and excellent at all times. The advice given is easy to understand along with their online portal which is easy to use too, communicated in a friendly accessible manner. I would highly recommend Savin Communications. ICT Manager, National Charity Having paid overly expensive mobile phone bills for several years, we switched to Savincom who assured us of substantial savings, especially for our mobile phone usage abroad. They were not wrong! Our bills have practically halved since the switch and furthermore Savincom provide a great support service, with any queries or problems being acknowledged and dealt with swiftly and professionally. Finance Manager, Global Shipping Company I can confirm that we switched over our account from a direct one held with one of the Networks, to one under Savincom’s control and have been more than happy with the service thus far. As a Canadian Investment Bank with frequent overseas travellers, I found doing business direct with the Network over the past few years and my numerous dedicated account managers very frustrating indeed. Wrong price plans, outdated tariffs, changes of Account Managers, limited cover on the weekend support desk, and bolt -on’s not being applied to our overseas travellers etc. We are seeing benefits in not having to deal with the Network directly. I would be happy to recommend them in terms of the mobile contract that they proposed and especially their customer service. Operations Manager, Investment Bank Since using Savincom our bills have noticeably decreased and every possible bundle is being added and removed when necessary. The service levels are a world away from what we experienced previously; I get a response back from their support team in at least 5 minutes, and everyone is extremely helpful. The account management is makes a big difference as well. Everything is straightforward and I can request information on our account and be sent a detailed report. I would highly recommend Savincom. Office Manager, Investment Company I have used Savin for the last 4 years and their customer service, support, timescale to response and resolve any queries etc. has been first class! I am the IT Manager for a large construction based Group and as you can appreciate we have a large number of guys based on construction sites who break their phone frequently (and lose them!) so I require a swift service to replace phones and sims, bar phone lines and order new lines (either phone or 4G dongles) ASAP, all of which Savin deliver! So I would recommend Savin without hesitating! IT Manager, Construction Group The highlight for me is being able to shoot an email to Savincom support and almost immediately getting an engaging response, they want to solve my problems rather than assign blame to someone. Overall we are very pleased to be working with a great team. IT Manager, Private Equity Savincom are my righthand. I just phone and everything gets dealt with – no more long maddening calls to mobile providers. Thank you Savincom. You guys rock! Andrea Sequeira Not only have our monthly bills been cut by more than half, savincom saved hours of my time spent on the phone to network direct customer support lines. Sujin Bailey Having had our mobile phone contracts managed by savincom has saved the company considerable time and administrative effort.
