WiMi Hologram Cloud (NASDAQ:WIMI) stock is soaring higher on Friday following an update about how 5G can help the hologram market.
According to a WiMi Hologram Cloud press release, the company expects the commercial use of holographic technology to see massive gains once 5G starts to spread to more areas. The company says this is due to the wireless network’s faster speeds that can support holograms.
