5G has three basic applications:
- Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB),
- Massive Machine Type Communication (MMTC),
- Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLCC).
These applications support many use cases that range from 8K video streaming, cloud gaming, and remote surgeries to autonomous vehicles.
