How AI and 5G wireless are impacting every company and industry

Companies, products and services are all transforming with 5G and AI

Artificial Intelligence and 5G wireless are changing everything. Not only are they transforming every wireless company in the industry, but also quite potentially every other company in every other industry as well. As investors, you must follow and understand the new directions that are being created. Going forward we face enormous new choices, challenges and opportunities.

Wireless has grown and changed many times over fifty years. However, as we move forward with 5G and AI, we must understand things are transforming more quickly and wider than ever before.

Understand what is happening. It is more than just a wireless upgrade like usual. This time it is impacting all industries. That means we need to know where to look for growth opportunities. And to understand whether these are short-term or long-term.

Pull the camera back and get a longer-term, historical perspective

So, let us first pull the camera back to get a longer-term, historical perspective on the changes which are creating new paths to follow with new technologies.

Whether we are creating new industries or just updating what we already have, everything will be fresh and new going forward.

That’s why every investor needs to understand where we are today and where we are heading in this new journey. We need to understand the changing growth curve.

Every company rides the ever-changing growth wave

Every industry, company, product and service, rides the growth wave. They are either on the way up, or they have crested, or they are on the way down.

Consider companies like Motorola and Blackberry. They were dominant leaders in their wireless handset space, until the marketplace changed directions and they did not.

They suddenly, they lost their way. Their growth wave quickly crested and collapsed. Suddenly they were sent to the bottom of the list of competitors.

They were warned that there was a cliff ahead. But they kept going, ultimately right off the edge.

Others like Facebook, Google with Android, Apple with iPhone, Samsung with Galaxy and others kept riding their growth wave and are still in the growth mode today.

However, even todays leaders need to strategize correctly for the changes that 5G and AI will bring to their space.

Technology is an industry which rewards the informed investor

That being said, technology has always been an industry which rewards the brave and informed investors. AI and 5G are the next, advanced version of the growth wave we have watched for quite a long time.

In fact, AI and 5G are not only transforming wireless, but they are also starting the same thing to every other industry as well. In fact, in coming years this will impact every area of our lives.

Are we ready? The good news is thanks to all this new technology, our world will be very unsettled for years to come.

That is a growth opportunity for every company, their customers and their investors.

AI and 5G are re-writing the rules we live by

Going forward, we should expect to see new ideas with new technology rewrite the rules, time and time again.

That is what AI and 5G are. Moving forward it will advance to other and newer artificial intelligence ideas and technology. It will also continue to move forward from 5G to 6G and beyond.

As AI continues to advance, it will ultimately start to write its own software. This is something we should keep an eye out.

Co-opetition is when companies both work together and compete

Remember, each of these separate technologies will be successful on their own and together.

We are going to experience a new world of co-opetition. A time when companies both compete with and work together or partner with competitors in different ways.

We’ve been through this before. It works, for a while anyway.

Think of it as planets in the solar system. There comes a time when things line up. This is when competitors become partners. Then, as they continue to move and go out-of-synch, it no longer makes sense.

Today, we are just in the early days of this revolution which will last for several years.

These are some of the reasons investors need to stay fully engaged in this transformation process which will continue moving forward.

Remember, while there are real growth opportunities, there are also real threats, risks and challenges we must all face.

That is why it is so important for every investor to get up to speed quickly and stay there. To understand and to be successful with wireless and AI as we go forward.

We must continue to expect new technology which will change continually everything we think we know about our world.
