As we look to automate and make our lives more agile, computerized and efficient, where do we go next? Let’s delve deeper into the evolution of IoT, and its next-generation developments...

ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS

Perhaps one of the most exciting developments in the world of IoT is data, with 5G coming in to offer instant communications for data packages of any size, with just 0.004 latency. As countries begin to roll out their 5G technology to consumers, governments, and businesses, we can expect to see incredible new innovations changing the way we communicate and work. Current 4G offers data speeds of around 20 Mbps, whilst 5G speeds will be 500 to 1500 Mbps, offering consumers and businesses more efficiency and opportunity. With data streams now unlimited and always-on, everything can be done wirelessly, benefiting not only businesses in the technology sector, but in engineering, healthcare, recruitment, and retail. By 2021, experts predict there will be around one billion 5G customers in Asia and North America alone.
