“From 2G to 3G to 4G, all of them serve people,” said Cui Kai, a Beijing-based IoT analyst with technology research firm IDC. “But 5G, from the beginning of its infrastructure design, has the Internet of things in mind.” “The next chapter of IoT is just beginning, as we see a shift from digitally enabling the physical to automating and augmenting the human experience with a connected world,” said Carrie MacGillivray, vice-president for IoT and mobility at IDC, in a recent report.
The International Telecommunication Union, the United Nations agency overseeing development of the “IMT 2020” global standard for 5G, said the new wireless technology would support 1 million connected devices per square kilometre; 1ms latency ; greater efficiency in terms of power and use of radio spectrum; and a peak data download rate of up to 20 Gbps.
During the three-hour procedure, a surgeon implanted a neurostimulator device into the brain of a Parkinson’s disease patient in Beijing with the aid of robotic arms, which were remotely controlled about 3,000km away. Remote surgeries are widely expected to enable more doctors to help their colleagues at smaller institutions or in disaster areas.
5G’s ability to handle massive amounts of data in ultra-fast speed also comes to play in industrial manufacturing and supply chains. For consumers, 5G is expected to broaden the use of smart home devices such as voice-activated speakers and other advanced Internet-linked appliances. The global market for smart electric household appliances, for example, is projected to reach 1.5 billion units by 2020 when commercial 5G networks are online, according to data from analytics firm Dun & Bradstreet.
“Previously, you needed to think about how much data you could send between devices and the Cloud,” said Werner Vogels, chief technology officer at Amazon, in an interview last month. “With 5G, companies will no longer be constrained. Every device, even your clock on the wall, could become Internet connected.”
