**11. Conclusion**

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), transportation, healthcare, the environment, and edge computing are just a few of the areas that have seen significant shifts since the introduction of 5G technology. The main effects of 5G on these industries are outlined in this concluding chapter, along with the potential benefits and challenges that lie ahead. 5G's ultra-low latency and high bandwidth capabilities have made it possible to create immersive and seamless VR/AR experiences [83]. Real-time applications like remote collaboration, gaming, and training have been made possible by these enhancements, paving the way for the widespread adoption of VR/AR technologies across various industries. Enhanced connectivity has fueled the growth of autonomous vehicles, smart traffic management systems, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, resulting in safer and more efficient transportation networks [84]. The transportation sector has also witnessed significant advancements as a result of 5G. The expansion of telemedicine, remote monitoring, and robotic surgery

in the healthcare industry has been made easier by 5G, improving both access to medical services and the overall quality of care. In addition, the integration of 5G with IoT devices has sped up the creation of smart healthcare systems, resulting in better outcomes for patients and lower costs [85]. There are both benefits and drawbacks to the environment from 5G. Through increased efficiency across a variety of industries, 5G has the potential to, on the one hand, cut down on emissions and energy consumption. However, additional research is necessary due to concerns about the potential health risks posed by higher-frequency radio waves and the increased energy requirements for 5G infrastructure. Last but not least, real-time data processing and analytics at the network's edge have been made possible by 5G, which has revolutionized edge computing by lowering latency and increasing system efficiency. Innovative applications have emerged in a variety of fields, including smart cities, agriculture, and manufacturing [82]. 5G will have profound and far-reaching effects on VR/AR, transportation, healthcare, the environment, and edge computing. Stakeholders need to address the obstacles and take full advantage of this revolutionary technology as 5G networks continue to grow.
