Ericsson's booth, meanwhile, will be wall-to-wall 5G as the network infrastructure company doubles down on next-generation wireless technology. You'll see more than 30 demonstrations, including how media flows over these faster networks, how cities can get smarter and how a more responsive connection can help with the remote control of critical machinery. At previous trade shows, Ericsson showed off a virtual-reality rig that allowed you to remotely control a giant excavator 1,550 miles away. Running on a 4G network, it was a little slow and there was a clear lag in responsiveness -- 5G would eliminate those problems.
