Barcelona (CNN Business)In Barcelona, everyone's talking about 5G.

As 100,000 people gathered in the Spanish city this week for the Mobile World Congress, the industry's annual conference, the next generation mobile network took center stage.

This is not just to do with its super-fast speeds, it's because 5G will create a ripple of developments that will change daily life.

"5G is going to have a massive impact on people lives," says Laila Worrell, CEO of Altran North America, a high-tech engineering company. "We are going to see a big advance in quality of life that 5G can deliver for individuals."
