5G is a new generation in the provision of wireless technology, with greater capacity compared to 4G, involving improved speed, latency rate, and connectivity. To that effect, this paper explores five key characteristics of 5G systems: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and network slicing, all of which sustain application such as smart automobiles and smart cities. Still, the opportunity of 5G is great. However, the deployment across the country faces some notable issues, which include infrastructure necessities, frequency, legislative restraints, and novel security risks caused by IoT gadgets. Thirdly, where a company aims to expand very far out and develop massive networks and terminals, the required investment is rather high and can be prohibitive in words, especially in rural areas. Nonetheless, 5G is filled with opportunities, both economically, socially, as well as technologically, for areas like health, transport as well as Factory automation through inventions such as telemedicine, Autopilot cars, and automated factories. Therefore, this paper looks at an elaborate 5G implementation deployed with AI and ML as a basis for future implementations such as 6G as expected in the future. Hence, there is a need to elaborate on the potential of 5G and provide solutions to those barriers presented when deploying the technology in a bid to create a world of connected efficiency and innovation.
