The fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technologies are on the way to be adopted as the next standard for mobile networking. It is therefore timely to analyze the impact of 5G on the landscape of computing, in particular, data management and data-driven technologies. With a predicted increase of 10-100× in bandwidth and 5-10× decrease in latency, 5G is expected to be the main enabler for edge computing which includes accessing cloud-like services, as well as conducting machine learning at the edge. In this paper, we examine the impact of 5G on both traditional and emerging technologies, and discuss research challenges and opportunities.
