5G and IoT Poised for Big Boost by 5G Cellular
5G technology is the fuel behind promising high-density IoT deployments.
But many analysts expect even a bigger Internet of Things boost from 5G cellular as it becomes more available and as commercial services catch up with technologically advanced standards.
It’s important to keep in mind that 5G’s increased spectrum expands the overall bandwidth and allows massive amount of IoT devices to connect.
Several other characteristics of 5G lend themselves to transforming industries and connectivity. One is ultra-high throughput where vendor trials have recorded up to 4Gbps at peak speeds with the potential to reach 10Gbps.
Another 5G characteristic that is poised to push 5G cellular IoT forward is high sensor density for data gathering. This will enable the digitization of factory floors and more visualization and productivity without the need for complex wiring or legacy technology.
Experts in this area say that high-sensor density is all about putting sensors by the thousands or even ?millions and leveraging them for asset tracking, alerts, etc.
5G on mmWave technology is built to handle millions of connected sensors and in fact is capable of managing a million connected devices per square kilometer.?
5G also enables ultra-low latency via Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC), which moves workload processing to the edge.
With the ability of a 5G network to handle more connected devices, consumers benefit from greater reliability of their connected devices.
The high-speed connectivity, very low latency, and greater coverage of 5G technology is critical for IoT devices. However, in order to take advantage of these improvements, manufacturers need to invest in building 5G-compatible devices.
