The Role of 5G URLLC for the Future of Mobile Service Providers

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), a key feature of 5G networks, optimizes the delivery of data based on different traffic requirements that include latency and reliability. URLLC and Release 16 are the first cases in which the 3GPP standard does not focus on connectivity alone, but in broader end-to-end systems that become platforms for applications across ecosystems. URLLC is also necessary to enable mobile service providers to evolve beyond connectivity and claim a place in the enterprise digitization that is currently progressing across many verticals.
