Wi-Fi can be a cause of trouble for many, thus many companies including Audi, BMW and Volkswagen are thinking to ditch Wi-Fi connections and switch to new 5G networks.
Often at some places, Wi-Fi can be annoying and prove to be a headache for poor connection. This led to few companies looking forward to entirely ditch it and move towards a newer 5G method for better and more reliable connection.
According to MIT Technology Review, these companies include the German automobile manufacturer Audi who is considering moving towards private networks. It has already started testing 5G connecting for its robots that has ‘very satisfying’ results, and might shift to 5G to entirely replace its Wi-Fi networks.

Audi plans to build up its own, 5G private wireless network at its production site, which it believes will enable it to connect manufacturing robots and other devices faster and more securely than existing Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G LTE options.
Other companies including automobile manufacturers BMW, Volkswagen, and Daimler also seem to be interested in 5G technology and their own 5G networks, along with many other utilities, shipping ports, manufacturing, oil, gas, and chemical firms.
The report states that German businesses mostly eager to accept the technology as they expect it to help them stay at the forefront of advanced manufacturing as part of a national initiative known as ‘Industrie 4.0’, reported Engadget.
Moreover, 5G public networks have already begun rolling out in some parts of the world including US, and are expected as a broad adoption by 2020. 5G will bring a boost to upload and download speeds for consumers’ phones and tablets, the report points out.
