In 4G, we have Facetime, audio messaging, which you can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world instantly. 4G came to people. And 5G does not. He came to change the lives of industries. It will be a revolution in industries. We will have companies having a high productivity gain. The entire production chain of the companies will communicate.
