Judging by the many "no comments" I received when I asked various device makers about 5G, not everyone is ready to commit to a path ahead for the next-generation technology in the smart home. Those willing to go on the record described some potential for 5G as a boost to delivery of services like security monitoring, as well as generally making it easier for consumers to get their smart-home devices online.

The reaction runs counter to others in the tech world, who await 5G with open arms. The technology, which promises a faster and more responsive network, is seen as a foundation for other trends such as self-driving cars, streaming virtual and augmented reality and the Internet of Things.
