handle is hein.journals/techssj46 and id is 88 raw text is: Technium Social Sciences Journal Vol. 46, 87-104, August, 2023 ISSN: 2668-7798 SOCIA L SCIENCES JOUR NAL ~www.techniumscience.com 5G Impacts, Internet of Things (IoT) and Businesses in Developing Countries Teckshawer Tom Hosei University, Japan teckshaw@yahoo.com Abstract. This study addresses the ramifications of 5G technology for enterprises in developing countries and how it affects the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT ecosystem is expected to see considerable improvements in connectivity, speed, and capacity with the introduction of 5G networks. The potential advantages and difficulties of integrating 5G technology into the IoT landscape are discussed in this study, along with how it might change several industries in developing nations. This research also highlights how 5G technology might boost IoT capabilities through higher device densities, lower latency, and faster data transmission rates. Additionally, it looks into the particular ramifications for enterprises in underdeveloped countries, taking into account the difficulties with infrastructure, affordability, and the digital divide that these countries confront. It also discusses the potential hazards and obstacles to the deployment of 5G, such as the requirement for suitable legal frameworks, security precautions, and talent development. The results of this study help to improve awareness of the potential effects of 5G technology on the IoT landscape in developing countries and offer guidance for stakeholders, enterprises, and policymakers in properly using its advantages. Keywords. Internet of Things, Technology, Digital Divide, Connectivity, Business Ecosystem, Networks Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT), which is changing how we interact with technology, has received a lot of attention recently. According to Atzori, Iera, and Morabito (2010), it refers to a network of physical things like computers, cars, and other machinery that can connect to the internet and exchange data without the need for human involvement. These things are implanted with sensors, software, and other technologies. By increasing efficiency, productivity, and lowering costs, the IoT has the potential to revolutionise a number of industries, including healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing. However, dependable and fast connectivity is necessary to fully realise its potential. The vast amount of data traffic produced by IoT devices can be supported by 5G since it offers faster data transfer rates, low latency, and larger capacity (Li, Lu, and Li, 2018). The potential of 5G technology to improve IoT has been recognised by numerous research. In comparison to 4G technology, 5G technology may be able to support up to 10 times faster data transfer rates, 100 times more connected devices, and 10 times reduced latency. Real- 87
