5G: A Security Bane Or Boon?

Aruba, a Hewlett packard enterprise company, country manager for uae gamal emara delves into the impact of 5G evolution on data ownership.

5G, the latest generation of cellular networks is dominating media headlines and capturing everyone’s imagination. Among all this noise, one of the growing topics of debate is the continued relevance of Wi-Fi in a 5G world, with many commentators starting to speculate that the newer technology will make the other redundant.

Far from this being the case, there are several well-used and very credible arguments that point towards a more hybrid future for 5G and Wi-Fi – mainly relating to the probable cost of the network and the scale of the necessary infrastructure and device upgrades.

One argument that hasn’t had much airtime, however, is the one around data ownership. And it is something I think is very worth discussing.
