Three Usage Scenarios for Every Application
IMT-2020 organizes the full breadth of 5G applications into three usage scenarios that form a triangle of capabilities. Enhanced Mobile Broadband targets peak throughput up to 20 Gbps for consumer video, fixed wireless access, and immersive AR/VR experiences. Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications delivers 99.999 percent reliability with sub-millisecond latency for autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and factory automation. Massive Machine Type Communications supports up to one million devices per square kilometer for smart city sensors, agricultural monitors, and utility meters that transmit small packets infrequently.
