By 2035, 5G will produce $10 trillion in revenue

and $420 billion in annual U.S. GDP.

 

5G is Not Just a Game Changer…

5G is a Whole New Sport.

[SCRIPT FOR VIDEO SALES LETTER]

 

[Mike Ward]

The telecom giants, AT&T, Version, Sprint, and T-Mobile will spend $26 billion through 2022[1] to build the new 5G network.

 

And then the telcos are going to spend another $300 billion from 2022 through 2025.[2]

 

Not because they want to…but because they need to.

 

The promises of 5G are incredible.  Using 5G you’ll be able to:

 

• Send a message to your driverless car that you need it to pick you up in 10 minutes outside your favorite downtown restaurant.

• Download high resolution movies, videos, and TV to your smart phone is seconds.

• Sending high resolution pictures and videos to your website, friends or family in the blink of an eye.

• Watch the World Series, Superbowl, NBA Finals, or Stanly Cup playoffs from the players point of view.

• See a real-time live stream of your favorite band, when you couldn’t get tickets to the concert.

• Play team video games, using virtual reality goggles, with friends from around the nation.

• Connect with your refrigerator at home, while you’re at the market, to see if you really do need eggs or milk today.

• Adjusting the thermostat in your home, from your office.

• Turn on your “pet cam” to check on your dog during your lunch break.

• Use an augmented reality headset to verify the lay-out of the restaurant you’re designing with an architect across town.

• Turn up the living room lights, turn down the AC, and heat up your backyard spa as you drive home from work.

• ​

Now I know that you can do some of these things today, without the 5G network, but with the 5G network, you’ll be able to do all of this from anywhere, quickly and conveniently.

 

And these are just the things you might do every day.

 

The promises of delivery drones, remote surgery, and augmented reality glasses will all need the support of the 5G network.

 

There are entire industries from manufacturing to healthcare that will also rely on 5G connections.

 

And it doesn’t matter whether or not you believe in the promises of 5G…

 

Because, just like the 2G and 3G networks before it…

 

And like the 4G network we use today…

 

5G will be, like the hub and spokes of a bicycle wheel, at the very center of our daily lives.

 

And while the Big Telcos, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, all claim that 5G will arrive like a tsunami, it’s becoming clear that 5G is arriving like a rising tide. 

 

Affecting everyone in one way or another, the 5G network will slowly and steadily seep into every part of American life.

 

Hello, I’m Mike Ward and I’m here today with my friend and “all things technology” expert Michael Robinson.  Michael is the editor of the monthly tech newsletter Nova-X Report.

 

Michael and his team research truly game changing technologies like 5G.

 

These are the technologies with the power to sweep across the globe and change the very fabric of our lives.

 

Michael’s a 35-year Silicon Valley veteran and one of the top technology analysts working today.

 

His work as a consultant, senior advisor and board member for Silicon Valley venture capital firms has placed him at the center of several major tech innovations including robotics used to revolutionize the auto industry.

 

And Michael was one of five people involved in early meetings for the development of the $160 billion a year "Cloud Computing" industry.

 

Michael is a regular guest and panelist on CNBC and Fox Business.

 

I can’t think of anyone more qualified to discuss 5G with us today.

 

[Michael Robinson]

Thank you for that introduction.

 

[Mike Ward]

You’re welcome.

 

Today Michael and I are going to examine the promises, reveal the potential, and expose the pitfalls of the 5G network. 

 

Together, we’re going to tell you what no one else wants to talk about when it comes to 5G.  We’re going to dig into what we’re calling the F.A.C.T.S. about the 5G network.

 

At the end of this video you’ll know how it works, who is building it, how it’s going to be used, and who’s going to profit from it.  You’ll know more about the new 5G network than most people ever will.

 

But first, Michael and I want to tamp down some of the media hype about the 5G network, what it will do and what it won’t do, at least at first.

 

[Michael Robinson]

The media has focused on three important elements of the 5G network. The first is its download speed, the second is its latency, and the third is universal availability.

 

Download speed measures how long it takes to transfer something from the internet like a movie or TV show to your mobile device or data to your laptop.

Latency measures how quickly data is passed back and forth from your mobile device to an online server.  The lower the latency, the faster the data is transmitted back and forth.

 

Finally, there is universal network availability.  The 5G network will close all those gaps that cause your phone calls and connections to be dropped.  With 5G you can move around with your mobile device at home, or your office, and even around town without losing a call.

 

[Mike Ward]

With those three upgrades alone, there is no doubt that the 5G network will be a game changer for both personal and business users.

 

[Michael Robinson]

I agree.

 

You know that I travel a lot for business.  It’s extremely frustrating to me when I can’t get a good internet connection when I’m away from my home and office.

 

But with 5G, slow connections and dropped calls will be a thing of the past.

 

Because 5G will make connecting to the network possible from nearly everywhere, I like to call 5G a “technology of convenience.”

 

We’ll be able to use mobile phones, tablets and laptops with uninterrupted access to the 5G network for business and entertainment from virtually anywhere.

 

Uninterrupted network access is a necessity for almost everyone, especially me.  But it’s critical for mobile customers under 25 years of age.  The telco industry calls these users their “digital customers.”[3]

 

One of the characteristics that identifies the “digital customer” is that they’re “always on” the network.  Digital customers spend an average of 315 minutes a day, that’s 5 hours and 15 minutes a day, on their mobile devices.

 

And some studies show that “American adults spend over 11 hours per day listening to, watching, reading or generally interacting with media” on their mobile devices.[4]

 

While you might not spend that much time online, the average “analog customer” spends 126 minutes, or just over two hours a day, on line.[5]

 

[Mike Ward]

I wonder what the industry calls users like you and me?  I’m not online for 5 hours a day, maybe closer to three.

 

And from time to time I do watch a movie, or TV show on my laptop when I’m traveling.

 

[Michael Robinson]

I have to confess, it’s not all business when I’m on line.  I do watch a movie or stream TV from time to time too.

 

It’s a little-known fact, but it’s the entertainment industry that will drive most of the non-business revenue for the telcos.

 

In addition to watching movies, TV, and video, people use their mobile devices to listen to music and audio books too.

 

We also discovered that, by far, the most common entertainment use for mobile devices is video gaming.

 

In 2020, the number of people playing games on their phones is expected to reach 209.5 million in the U.S.  It’s estimated that the population of the U.S. in 2020 will be 334.5 million people.  So, basically two out of three people in the U.S. play games on their phones.[6]

 

But, whether they’re playing Fortnight, Clash of Clans, or just killing time playing Candy Crush or Angry Birds, video gamers need fast and reliable connections.

 

And because 5G will also deliver video games to mobile devices at low latency, video gamers will be able to stream more complicated and graphics driven games straight from the cloud.

 

Today’s high-tech Xbox and PlayStation consoles that connect to TV sets will soon be tossed on top of the outdated video game console heap along with all those Pong, Atari, Sega and Nintendo Entertainment systems.

The video gaming industry in the U.S. is projected to be worth 74.4 billion dollars in 2019.[7]

 

And the market for video gaming continues to grow.

 

[Mike Ward]

Most people believe that 5G is only going to be understood and useful to the millennials or their kids, who will want to download movies faster, play games, and constantly stay in touch with their online friends.

 

How should older Americans view the 5G network?

 

[Michael Robinson]

I want people in our generation to understand how the 5G network will truly be a technology of convenience for the baby boomers.

 

A prime example of this convenience will be how we receive our healthcare.

 

But before I get into the details of more convenient healthcare, let me address the media buzz about remote surgery.

 

Remote surgery is getting a lot of attention when it comes to 5G.  And it’s true that doctors in China used 5G connections when they performed a remote surgery on an animal.  But these were strictly controlled conditions.

 

Here’s the thing, the doctors in China used 5G, but they didn’t need to.

 

In fact, the first remote surgery on a person was performed on September 7th, 2001, before even 3G was available.  And if you remember, it was 3G that brought us the Blackberry and introduced us all to texting.

 

But the concept of remote surgery was first explored by NASA in the 1970’s.

 

When NASA was developing the first U.S. space station, Skylab, they considered putting a machine equipped with surgical instruments on the space station.

 

If needed, the machine would be controlled by surgeons on the ground.

 

NASA later decided that it would be better to bring an astronaut back to earth for surgery if needed.  Even today, there are no remote surgical capabilities on the International Space Station.[8]

 

The first remote surgery was called the Lindbergh Operation because the doctors and their patient were separated by the Atlantic Ocean.

The doctors who performed the surgery were located in New York City. They removed the gallbladder from their patient who was in Strasbourg, France, a distance of 3850 miles.  The surgery on the 68-year old woman lasted for 45 minutes.[9] [10]

 

[Mike Ward]

So, if we can already do it, what’s the real story behind remote surgery and 5G?

 

[Michael Robinson]

The real story is that 5G will make remote surgery more accessible in emergency situations like natural disasters or in war zones.

 

A 5G network will allow you to take a mobile surgical suite to a rural area, or a disaster area, or even a war zone.  The surgical suite would be connected to the 5G network.  This would allow surgeons to perform surgeries from a remote location and if necessary, out of harm’s way.

 

Right now, remote surgery is more of a side show than a practical application of 5G.

 

[Mike Ward]

I always learn something new when we meet like this.

 

Help me to understand the two different stories we’re being told about 5G by the media.

 

One story says 5G is already here and another says 5G won’t be available until 2022. Is 5G here or isn’t it?  What’s the truth? 

 

[Michael Robinson]

Mike, the short answer is that both of these stories are true, sort of. 

 

Let me explain.

The telcos, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon have started to bring 5G to the market, but right now it is only available in some cities and only in limited areas and conditions.  You’ll see in the media that they are squabbling over who has or has not brought the first working network to the public.

 

Now, the telcos are under tremendous pressure to get the 5G network up and running because there is a lot of built up anticipation for the “miracle of 5G.”

 

People who are on their devices a lot, the younger “digital customers,” can’t wait for a true 5G network.  They depend on their smart phones for everything.  Of course, the telcos see this need and want to monetize this market.  They are leaving money on the table every day that they don’t deliver the 5G service.

 

On the other hand, it’s taking more time and capital to upgrade and renovate the existing 4G network than they expected.

 

So, to help people understand what’s going on, especially anyone who is interested in low risk investing in the 5G market, I’ve put together what I’m calling the F.A.C.T.S of 5G.

 

[Mike Ward]

Tell us about them.

 

[Mike Robinson]

F.A.C.T.S. is an acronym for:

• Fiber Optic Cables

• Antennas

• Cloud

• Telcos

• And a developing service called Serverless Computing.

 

[Mike Ward]

Well let’s dig in

Tell me what fiber optic cables have to do with 5G.

 

[Michael Robinson]

If our viewers are here for a history lesson, that’s great.

 

But if they’re here to understand the best way to invest in 5G, this is very important.

 

I want to make sure that we all have the same information regarding how wireless communication actually works.

 

So, let’s go back to the very beginning.

 

The telephone.

 

When telephone service was first available, this is how phone calls are sent from one phone to another.

 

In 1877, when Bell Telephone began to install phones in homes, the phone company ran copper phone lines from a central switching office to each home with a phone.

 

When a phone call was made, an operator would route your call to another phone by physically connecting the two phone lines.

 

Bell Telephone had 5.8 million users by 1910, so it took thousands of operators all across the country to conncect phone calls.

 

Over the next 50 years, as computer and telephone wire technology advanced, the phone lines went underground and connecting phone calls was automated.

 

Today, most of us are using phone services provided by cable companies.

 

And you’ll remember that several years ago the cable companies started putting in fiber optic cables all over the country.

 

Most of the original copper phone lines have been removed.

 

But even today, with what’s left of the landline phone network, calls are routed by computers from one phone to another using wire or fiber optic cables, sometimes both.

So, at the most basic level, a landline call to another landline phone is transmitted over a network of wire and/or fiber optic cable 100% of the distance.

 

[Mike Ward]

So that’s where we started.

 

What are the basics for today’s 4G cellular network?

 

[Michael Robinson]

First, although some people believe this, the cell phone system is not phone calls just whizzing through the air, cell phone to cell phone.

 

When a wireless device like your phone, or tablet, or laptop, connects to the cable network, this is what happens…

 

When you’re at home, the first connection is between your wireless device and the WIFI router that was installed by your cable company.

 

Your router is connected to the cable network, the same cable network that is used for landline phones, the internet and probably your TV service.

 

It’s the same when you’re in a local coffee shop, or in a hotel, or in an airport, or even out shopping.  If you’ve set up your device to allow it, your device connects to the network using radio waves between your device and the nearest WIFI router.

 

The only difference between a 100% landline call and a cell call through WIFI is the radio connection between your device and the nearest WIFI connection.

 

[Mike Ward]

We see the WIFI logo everywhere now, so getting onto the internet is really convenient.  But what if, instead of getting on the internet, you decide to call or text a friend.  Are all calls routed through WIFI?

 

[Michael Robinson]

No, not all of them.

 

When you’re not connected to WIFI, maybe you’re driving in your car, or riding a train or bus, or just out and about, and you call or text a friend, the first connection is still made by radio waves.

 

But the connection is now between your cell phone and the nearest cell tower.

 

Once your phone’s radio signal is received by the tower it is converted from radio waves into pulses of light.

 

The pulses of light are then routed through a fiber optic network, to an automated call center, and then on to the cell tower nearest to your friend.  The pulses of light are transformed back into radio waves and broadcast to your friend’s phone.

 

And so, the call goes back and forth between the phones using the radio waves between the phones and the tower and all the fiber optic cables in between.

 

The biggest change between a WIFI connection and a cell tower connection is how the call enters the cable network.

 

So, to summarize,

 

Using WIFI, the radio waves from your device only need to travel a short distance to the nearest WIFI router.

 

But without a WIFI connection, the first connection reaches out to the nearest cell tower.

 

Once the radio signal reaches the cable network it’s converted into a light signal, the same as the signals used by landline phones, and sent to a switching center.

 

At the switching center the call is routed to the receiving cell phone.

 

The path of travel between the cell towers and the switch station consists of a fiber optic cable connection, not a radio connection.

 

Modern day communication networks, both landline and cellular, consist mainly of fiber-optic cables.

 

As of June, 2017, there were nearly 3 million miles of fiber optic cables in use for cellular communication and they create a huge network across the US.[11]

 

So, the call travels between the cell and phone as a radio wave. But the bulk of its time and distance in transit happens over fiber-optic cable.

 

[Mike Ward]

Michael, I just want to emphasize that the majority of any cellular connection, whether it’s using WIFI or tower, travels over fiber optic cables.

 

[Michael Robinson]

That’s right

 

[Mike Ward]

Why is this important?

 

[Michael Robinson]

Because, and here’s the secret, when we talk about 5G, it’s the wireless connection that is getting the upgrade, not the fiber-optic cable carrying the call.

 

Now to be clear, there is a need to upgrade and to expand the components to make the fiber optic system more efficient.

 

Upgrading the components is a great opportunity for people interested in investing in the 5G build out.

 

Between January 8, 2018 and June 24th, 2019 three fiber optic component companies beat the market.

 

• Acacia Communications (ACIA) gained 18.82% - beating the Dow Jones by 15.73%

• Optical Cable Corporation (OCC) gained 71.67% - beating the Dow Jones by 68.58%

• And Ciena Corporation (CIEN) gained the most, 87.47% - beating the Dow Jones by 84.41%

 

If you had invested $1000.00 in each of these companies on January 8, 2018, your bank account would now be worth $4,780.50.

 

If you had invested the same amount in a DJIA index fund, your bank account would only have and extra $92.70 in it.

 

And we’ve also identified one small U.S. company, started in 2007, that supplies fiber and components to the mobile network companies.

 

In the last 188 days alone, this company has gained 60.85%, beating the Dow Jones Industrial Average by nearly 39%

 

A $1,000.00 investment in this company just before Christmas, 2018 would now be worth $1,608.50.

 

A $2,500.00 investment in this company would now be worth $4,021.25.

 

And a $5,000.00 investment would now be worth $8,042.50.

 

You can think of the fiber-optic network is the arteries and veins of the 5G system. The fibers carry the signals throughout the nation and across the globe just like veins and arteries carry blood throughout our bodies.

 

So, the first thing for people to understand is that the vast majority of our modern-day communications is transmitted by a huge web fiber optic cable.  And, in order for 5G to reach its full potential, this web of cables needs to be upgraded and expanded.

 

And this is how some of my friends and colleagues are making money on 5G, by investing in the companies that are supplying fiber optic cables and accessories to the telcos.

 

5G technology will also be used to for rural and metropolitan healthcare.  5G technology will enable doctors to get real-time patient data to diagnose and treat their patients using remote monitoring, most likely in the form of wearable health monitors.

 

Remote healthcare will allow people with chronic illnesses to receive ongoing treatment without traveling to a doctor’s office for an appointment.

 

For example, wearable technology will allow a person with diabetes to manage their symptoms using remote monitors. These monitors will send real-time blood glucose information to clinicians who are then able to adjust medication and provide treatment remotely.[12]

 

Patients who suffer from high blood pressure may be able to receive similar remote monitoring and treatment.  And doctors could monitor medicine doses remotely too.

 

And visits to the doctor’s office to follow up on minor procedures or to monitor medication treatments will be greatly reduced.

 

And this convenience could be local as well as remote.  Even if a person lives near their doctor’s office, it would still be convenient to stay at home while being monitored for sickness or recovering from a procedure.

 

For me, this is another example of 5G providing the technology of convenience.

 

[Mike Ward]

That would be convenient.

 

In other news we hear a lot about driverless cars and trucks.  What’s going on with them?

 

[Michael Robinson]

Small scale demonstrations for driverless cars, trucks and busses have already been successfully tested.

 

During the 2018 Seoul Winter Olympics the South Koreans successfully demonstrated driverless busses that took spectators around the Olympic Village to the event centers.  They were able to do this by installing a temporary 5G network at the Olympic Village.[13]

 

Amazon is testing self-driving trucks to haul packages between Texas and California.  The Amazon warehouse team packs a trailer and drives it to a staging area on the freeway.  Once there, the driving is turned over to the computers on the truck.  The trip is supervised by a driver who is there for safety.  When the computer driven truck arrives at the staging area after the 650-mile trip along I-10, a human drives the truck to its final destination.[14]

 

It’s important to point out that 5G is not involved in Amazon trucking trials because the 5G network has not been set up along the highway.  The truck uses cameras and GPS location to make the trip.

 

So, this is a case where the notion that 5G is required to make driverless vehicles a reality is stretching the truth.

 

On the other hand, Tesla has been testing driverless cars for some time and anticipates it will have the technology for a fully self-driving car by the end of 2019.[15]

 

But make no mistake, it will be 5G technology that makes fully driverless cars a reality for the general public.

 

5G technology will allow cars to communicate with each other.  And cars would also communicate with traffic signals, road sensors and even pedestrians near the car.

 

Due to the extremely low latency of 5G communications, remember that latency is the speed of communications between devices, driverless cars will have faster reactions than human drivers.  Humans have a reaction speed of about 250 milliseconds.  That’s a little bit faster than the “blink of the eye.”

 

Driverless cars, on the other hand, will be able to communicate with each other in 1 millisecond.[16]  The car can react before a person even knows that there is a problem.

 

Cars communicating with each other will avoid accidents and allow a greater density of cars to safely use the roads and highways.

 

Driverless cars will turn “crush” hour back into “rush” hour again.

 

And, once driverless cars are available to the public, when you get to an age where you’re having trouble driving, they will provide a great convenience to when you either can’t drive or choose not to drive.
