Connectivity is one of the key enablers of technological advancements. The past couple of decades has exhibited how cellular technology has shaped the Internet of things (IoT). During the 2000s, 2G and 3G brought Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication which, although revolutionary at the time, was comparatively simple in terms of what it enabled. Then came 4G, which enabled far more sophisticated applications in the loT. Empowered with robust cloud connectivity it allowed efficient data transfer and better device management and control.
THE POWER OF 5G
India is moving ahead ushering in the much-awaited 5G era. According to numerous reports, India, with its current data prices, which are significantly lower than the global average, will continue to set rate benchmarks as new services are rolled out. 5G, will create unprecedented opportunities for businesses and people. While the dominating discussion in the media about the benefits of 5G was initially focused on how we will be able to download an HD movie in a few seconds, it has now shifted towards a broader set of benefits. 5G, which is up to 100 times faster than 4G, will create unprecedented opportunities for businesses and people.
Layered with Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G will enable the Intelligent Internet of Everything (loE), where anything powered can compute, and anything that computes can be connected. 5G, IoT, and Al will be fundamental to the next phase of technological development. It will transform industries, including healthcare, gaming, agriculture, traffic systems, and automotive safety. In short, the potential to unlock a new world of possibilities. For example, let's look at automotive safety. Maps will evolve to absorb and deliver more information in real time rather than simply updating us on live traffic conditions.
