Assuming 5g really is the future, how to buy in now?

Is any company particularly suited to go higher in the coming 5g environment?

Is Qualcomm (QCOM) the only real way to buy directly into it?

And is their litigation trouble with China and now with the U.S. a red flag or an opportunity?

I've asked this to be moved to the Money board (whoops), but Tech is probably the next best thing for the topic.

Probably a little late... And I am not sure 5G will be implemented quickly or is even that desirable by users.

That being said the patents are spread out with Nokia with Qualcomm on top.

Unfortunately network equipment companies aren't what you consider large growth companies now. As the 5g rollout will be slow and a race to the bottom of the Chinese companies are allowed to compete.

There will be a wide variety of different 5G variations by carriers, so proceed with caution.

Verizon uses their own proprietary 5G (which they will eventually replace with 5G NG) and it's fixed. AT&T is relabeling LTE Advanced (4x4 MIMO, Carrier Aggregation, 256 QAM) to 5Ge. Just how much of a scam 5Ge is, you ask? Well LTE Advanced is something both Verizon and T-Mobile have had for a while.

My advice is to also look into tower hosting companies like Crown Castle. They've been doing bad in the past few years, but 5G will require tighter tower spacing, which means more leases for wireless carriers. Also, small cell companies like Mobilitie and Zayo are worth the look.
