    I think 5g will not help a lot. LoRa etc will help more ;) all sensors use LoRA. A lot better for batteries, consumer less power. Limited data sending and long range connections. Moreover, the network is community driven..

    5G will definitely enable higher bandwidth and lower latency for IoT devices in smart cities compared to current wireless tech. But you're right, for simple sensors LoRa is great since it's lower power and longer range. I think 5G and LoRa will complement each other - 5G for high speed/bandwidth apps, LoRa for wide-area low power sensor networks. The combo of the two will really accelerate smart city rollouts IMO!
