Smartphones would be the first electronic devices to benefit from the blazing fast internet speeds promised by 5G thanks to the ubiquity, but modules are under development which would also enable other electronic devices, particularly PCs to support the next generation of wireless networks. In fact, some of those solutions were also displayed during the Mobile World Congress, which means it wouldn’t be long before they are made available commercially.

During the MWC 2019 trade, plug-in cards that can be directly installed in PCs and laptops to offer them a wireless interface were on display. These modules are built upon the cellular modems that would be used in the first generation 5G-ready handsets. Leading the charge is Qualcomm, which has already released two standalone modems for 5G smartphones and has also announced that its next flagship SoC would come with a built-in 5G modem. Apparently, Samsung would be the first company to take advantage of the new silicon.
