How 5G Will Change our life
Self-driving vehicles, remote robotic surgery, autonomous weapons – is possible via the 5G wireless network, which promises to improve our lives and contribute to the global economy every year with trillions of dollars. A whole range of industries will be disrupted because 5G offers high speed, capacity, and connectivity. Now economists estimate that 5G will drive an additional $12 trillion of annual sales in 2035.
Mobile data speeds -up to 100 times more rapid than those of 4G will allow people to download full-length movies in seconds. At work, due to the automation of tasks and digital connectivity, productivity will be increased.
Although the 5G is adopted in South Korea and few U.S. cities, the most significant changes are not far away from reality.
Here are some sectors that will be disrupted by 5G
Internet of Things
The internet of things attributes to all the machines and devices connected through the internet,
and its considerable growth is inevitable as 5G comes online. There are projected to be 125
billion devices linked by 2030, up from 11 billion last years, according to analysts at DBS Group
Research. increased connectivity leads to the spread of artificial intelligence and machine
learning, enabling enormous amounts of data to be gathered from remote and mobile sensors and analyzed in seconds.
Transport Logistics
The mobile computers process significant amounts of data in real-time — won’t be possible without the huge speed increases and fully deployed 5G networks.
5G and autonomous vehicles also promise to disrupt shipping and logistics. Connected autonomous trucks and “ghost” cargo ships will improve logistical efficiency. For example, the Port of Hamburg has initiated the process of installing sensors on ships to track movement and environmental data in seconds, allowing employees equipped with smart glasses to visualize the
action via augmented reality, enhancing traffic flow.
Health Care
Within a few years, you could
order a house call from a self-driving
mini-clinic
that provides
automated diagnostic tests and video-links to make appointments with doctors. Remote robotics-
assisted operations and even partly
automated
surgeries won’t be an S.F. scenario. Older people
could take advantage of specifically those in rural or otherwise under-served communities.
5G will stimulate data-driven medicine, partly via wearable technologies that will have many
capabilities such as monitoring your physical condition and emotional and mental states in a few
seconds.
In the Office
Office work will be more productive. The evolution of A.I. and machine learning made possible
by 5G networks will reduce the number of white-collar workers who will be engaged in
repetitious tasks such as accounting and data processing. In most cases, smart machines will
facilitate many procedures by executing functions that are crucial parts of jobs.
In the Factory
The factory of the future will also depend on 5G to enhance augmented reality, autonomous
mobility, sensor networks, and machine learning. The result will be “extreme automation” and
high productivity. Japanese machine tool maker Yamazaki Mazak currently helped launch the
U.K.’s first 5G factory trials. They used sensors for real-time monitoring and data gathering,
enabling them to speed up and support automation systems.
Security and War
5G has substantial implications for public and national security. To start with, the extreme
interconnectedness itself implies risks, making everything from individual households to energy
grids more vulnerable to hackers. The 5G network will be a crucial factor for creating fully
autonomous weapons that make their own decisions to fire on targets, as well as tracking of
people in public in seconds using facial recognition technology.
