According to Sprint senior vice president of IoT Ivo Rook, the network will be ready for 5G, with the network and OS to utilise Ericsson's IoT Accelerator platform. US internet company and Swedish telecoms and network firm Ericsson have been working together to develop a new generation of wireless technology that will be able to transmit data at speeds up to one gigabit per second. The companies said the system would cut the distance between a data-generating device and the IoT application that processed the data. Nodes would be distributed right to a particular enterprise's own premises to help security, privacy and latency. They also said the operating system combined connectivity, device and data management and delivered immediate intelligence on the data.
