The new standard will also enable consumers to enjoy high-quality media content (4K/8K) over faster networks and stream/broadcast live content efficiently.

AR/VR will have a greater impact in the year. Gaming on devices is going to change through Virtual Reality giving players a feeling of proximity. Enterprises will start using AR and VR in remote troubleshooting and training.
