Higher speeds mean we can offload high-speed processing to remote computers (cloud etc...) and give you the same services for smaller devices with longer battery lives or improved experiences with the same devices.

This is critical for wearables like AR glasses and the like to become commonplace.

For example we build 3D point clouds in real-time on devices and then process them on the cloud to stitch them together to then reload on the device. With super fast internet we could move our mapping to the cloud and could reduce our hardware requirements to basically a camera, battery and an LTE chip.
