In the RF / wireless world, in the coming 5-10 years we may finally see commercial use of large phased arrays. This was supposed to come with mm-wave 5G, but probably will get pushed to 5G++ or 6G. Starlink actually looks on track to be the first consumer 'killer app'.
Hard to understate how big this will be for maintaining growth in wireless capacity. I think there's a timeline where we ditch copper coax and even buried fiber in most infrastructure.
