The need to remain connected is a human need. An era of digitization and technology is essentially built on this need. It is here that telecommunications come to the fore as a necessary utility. The rising demand for technologically superior products has been a silver lining for the telecom space in an otherwise tough environment. With the U.S. telecom industry continuously evolving, companies in the league are fighting it out to stay abreast of competition. The latest in the league is the upcoming 5G wireless technology.

Several industry researchers hold that 5G network will provide a download speed of 1 Gbps (gigabit per second) which is 200 times the throughput of the currently available standard 4G LTE network. Latency period of data delivery will be in single milliseconds. Further, 5G technology is designed to be more power efficient than any other standard wireless networks available these days. Naturally, 5G-enabled mobile devices are likely to last much longer than their 3G or 4G counterparts.According to the research firm ABI Research, 5G network deployment is expected to ramp up after 2020 and its market size may reach $247 billion worldwide by 2025. North America, Asia-Pacific, and Western Europe will be the three regions that will pioneer 5G network deployment.

Additionally, superfast 5G mobile networks will be of utmost necessity in managing the exponential growth of Internet-connected devices, popularly known as Internet of Things (IoT). According to a report by research firm International Data Corporation (IDC), worldwide spending on IoT is slated to grow at a 17% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to nearly $1.3 trillion in 2019 from $698.6 billion in 2015.

The U.S. telecom behemoth Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Analyst Report) will start field trials for its upcoming 5G wireless network with its partners in 2016. The company is preparing for initial deployment of the next-generation 5G wireless networks in the U.S. in 2017. In Feb 2016, another U.S. telecom giant AT&T Inc. (T - Analyst Report) requested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to grant a license to test 5G technologies on 3.5GHz, 4GHz, 15GHz and 28GHz frequency bands.

Last month, T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS - Analyst Report) sought the FCC’s approval for a millimeter wave radio test license using the company’s 28 GHz and 39 GHz frequency bands to conduct test run of 5G wireless standards. Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM - Analyst Report), the largest manufacturer of wireless baseband chip set globally, is working hard to develop chipsets for the 5G mobile standard.

The U.S. telecom industry has lately emerged as an intensely contested space where success thrives largely on technical superiority, quality of services and scalability. Thus, in order to stay ahead of competitors, existing players need to be constantly on their toes to introduce innovative products.  A full-fledged 5G network deployment will not start until 2020. T-Mobile US and AT&T too are targeting the same time frame to get their 5G network ready for commercial deployment. However, Verizon is so far leading the race in this regard.

Is this 2015’s next fastest growing technology stock opportunity?

Today, it can take up to 6 different mobile applications to plan, manage, and share event details. Who in the world has time to deal with that?

What about the pain it is to constantly bug people to text and email the pictures and videos they took of you at social and business events?

An up and coming technology development company that is promoting and fostering “private, controlled social environments” is EVENTURE INTERACTIVE, INC.(Stock ticker OTCQB: EVTI). Its focus is on creating a “whole product solution centered” on its core social calendar app that is complimented with EVENT GAMESand a WEARABLE CAMERA.

Its social calendaring application allows users to simply create, manage and share digital memories from their local events. Events can be anything from last second get-togethers like happy hour, to highly planned and organized formal events like weddings, and every type of social event in-between.

At the center of Eventure’s technology and awarded Patent #8,769,610 is how information is collected, distributed and shared among event attendees based on privacy and mobile device connectivity. (On a side note, it will be interesting to see whether Twitter’s popular Periscope app is in violation of the Company’s patent.)

The Company is also addressing a recent and growing trend that is wrecking havoc among social network circles – social event exclusion. This is when people are having pictures of events being shared to the world on various open social networks, and those that were not invited publicly express their displeasure for being left out.

Eventure’s social calendar application allows for users to control their vanity, voyeurism and privacy. It puts total control of privacy in their hands.

Event hosts have total control of their events, which includes the privacy and the content they distribute to invitees. How information is collected, distributed and shared among event attendees is based on the event privacy.

For example, a person creates an event – either formally or informally. As the event host, he determines whom he invites, how he and invitees interact with each other pre-event, during the event, and post-event.

He sets the event privacy setting so he controls how event attendees are able to share content and comments with others. By setting a controlled environment, pictures, videos and comments that are captured and shared by event attendees is automatically shared only with other event attendees in their Event Stream.

This allows for digital memories to be automatically shared from one’s camera phone or Eventure’s very own camera, but only with the select group of individuals that they are intended for. Additionally, all of the pictures, videos and comments captured by everyone at the event are stored in a private event folder in each attendee’s Collections to allow for retrieval hours, days or years after the event.

It has a feel of what Instagram does with social photo sharing, but allows for it to be done on an event per event level where users can control their vanity and voyeurism.

This is an easy-to-use app that streamlines the features of 6 applications into one simple, productive event-management app that gives users ultimate control of their privacy, vanity and voyeurism.

Given the strong performance of the technology sector as a whole, investors continue to look for the next fastest growing stock investment idea. The social media network category continues to be red hot because of strong metrics related to growth in active users and time spent on page. That, coupled with market disruption and revenue generation, makes this sector a shrewd investment opportunity. The hyper-growth of social media companies continues to be a major driver and value proposition for investment dollars.
