Emerging 5G any good Dividend plays?

I continue to add to my NOK yielding 3.6%. That and ERIC are probably the best 5G technology plays other than some of the chip developers (LSCC & XLNX) but those overvalued IMO. I have a tiny small cap play in CRNT that builds wireless 5G Cell Tower to Fiber broadband systems. This allows cell towers in range of sight to connect to the fiber nodes using their wireless broadband transmission systems.

It will be interesting to see how fast 5G is adopted in US vs in other countries. Latin America, India and China seem to leapfrog to the 5G platform. I own VOD & T to get exposure there (T has big footprint in Mexico).

The service providers T, VZ and even CMCSA are good domestic 5G plays and to some extent CTL (if/when they implement 5G to the home).

FWIW, I have upgraded my Home broadband Network using high end ASUS router (tri-band) in a Mesh sytem design. The ASUS routers have a very nice firewall/security service built into their firmware (updated a few times a year). AiProtection is a Router Security service that provides real time networking and monitoring.

I also recently installed a VPN service call SurfShark.com and that allows unlimited devices and has WIN/APPL/Android apps so you can run on each device and/or router.

Systems/Technology getting smarter so easy for bad guys to hack your devices. Internet of Things are vulnerabe. Like Jim said, hackers use your IP as a relay node and/or embedd bots in the firmware to do all sorts of this (mining bitcoin, spamm etc).

I do think there are some investment oportunities in 5G but not many w/ good solid dividend payers/growers.
