The means any 5G device - mobile phone, IoT, and other - will be able to transmit or receive incredibly large quantities of data, even when traveling at speeds above any land-based transportation, and nearly half the speed of a commercial airliner.. Large quantities of data can be exfiltrated from an organisation in a few seconds via a 5G-enabled device..
