How 5G Is Changing the World

Super-fast speeds, increased reliability, and zero lag time – that’s what 5G guarantees. And that’s why this generation of wireless connectivity is expected to transform the way we work and live. Here’s a look at four very real ways that 5G will transform industries in the near future.

Warehouse Equipment Will Be Optimized

At present, automated warehouses have equipment like conveyor belts, sorters, and truck unloaders that depend on tethered communication cables. 5G will make that wireless, which means these devices won’t have to be tied down. This will enable optimal configuration to maximize productivity.

This lack of latency will also make warehouses safer. Trained operators can run equipment from the opposite end of the world, and the adjustments will still happen accurately, in real-time.

Employees Can Be Connected via Digital Tools

As industries are going through a digital transformation wave, employees are starting to increasingly depend on technology to better perform their jobs. 5G connectivity helps internet-based devices perform a lot better. So, whether you need to video conference with your colleagues through your smartphone or access real-time data via virtual reality and artificial reality platforms, you’ll be able to do all that and more, in a fast and secure manner, with 5G.

Utility Services Can Expand Possibilities

With 5G, utilities will also be able to implement new features a lot faster to better serve their consumers. 5G wireless technology offers a secure, robust IoT network that offers excellent connectivity. This will help energy companies optimize operations. It also simplifies the implementation of advanced metering – a process that refers to the integration of smart meters.

Fully Autonomous Driverless Vehicles Will Become a Mainstay

It is estimated that almost 95 percent of traffic accidents are caused as a result of human errors, which means driverless cars could save lives. While driverless cars are already here, for them to become completely autonomous, they will need to constantly communicate with vehicles around them. This can be supported by 5G. Once the infrastructure is in place, it won’t be long before streets become less congested and the air becomes less polluted.
