Tim Horan, Oppenheimer's Senior Analyst for Cloud & Communications, said, "Five years after the release of the first 5G standard, the dawn of a new Golden Age for wireless is upon us and supported by a new food chain driving new applications. 5G, among other things, promises the immediacy of ten-to-twenty times what the human eye can see or skin can touch.
