Abstract
Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to bring a comprehensive understanding of 5G mobile communication technology, its comparison with predecessor technologies, and research issues related to its implementation. Further, this study also attempts to find out its key drivers, potential roadblocks, and benefits related to this technology. It will also suggest a future research road map in this area.
 Design/methodology/approach – An in-depth literature review and content analysis of key reports and articles published since 2014 have been carried out to achieve stated research objectives. 
 Findings – The findings suggest that 5G technology holds a lot of promise but there are challenges of security & privacy, spectrum availability, switching cost, slow infrastructure development, etc., which need to be taken care of before 5G is successfully adopted.
 Originality/value – The current research uses an in-depth literature review of all key reports and journal articles that have been published since 2014. Further, it highlights the major issues and challenges that exist for 5G implementation.
