With the launch of 5G?services in India in October 2023, people are anticipating that this wireless access technology is going to bring a digital revolution to the country. With the promising higher data capacity and speed-5G has the capacity to connect billions of devices. It offers a mega data transfer speed of 20Gbps and reinforces the network capabilities through mobile edge computing. When 5G is combined with other technologies like AI, IoT, and Extended Reality(XR), it will activate enterprises with outstanding network capabilities required to power the Indian digital economy.
Moreover, the incorporation of 5G technology will assist in narrowing the digital gap country. It is true that rural regions have fallen behind urban areas in terms of internet accessibility.
?5G’s rapid data transfer speeds and Low latency will benefit rural communities, encouraging them to take the advantage of latest opportunities and services such as e-commerce, e-learning, and telemedicine.
Our honourable Prime Minister recently shared his vision of ‘Internet for All’ through 5G technology, recognizing that even the poorest Indians understand the value of the digital revolution. With more than 100 unicorns already thriving under 4G technology, the arrival of 5G will boost India’s position as a global startup and manufacturing leader. Through consumer-centric delivery of essential services, from drones for farmers to UPI payments for small traders, 5G will unlock new avenues to improve ease of living and increase accessibility to technology for everyone.
The impact of 5G on Indian Industrial sector
5G is supremely efficient and holds the potential to power a country’s economy through multiple sectors. It is expected to drive the nation into a new era of development and growth.
In a country like ours, with diverse industries, this technology has the capability to catalyze innovation and boost the economy.
The following are a few sectors that are set to benefit from the introduction of 5G Technology in India.
Manufacturing Industry:
Automation, the Internet Of Things?along with 5G’s low latency and high speed activates real-time data transmission between devices leading to seamless communication between them. This provides manufacturers with various capabilities from effective maintenance to monitoring to supply chain management which improves productivity. With proper implementation of cutting-edge technologies like automation and AI, India will soon become a top Manufacturing hub globally.
Healthcare and Telemedicine:
The healthcare sector too has the full potential to bloom when 5G Technology is deployed effectively. With its full capability, 5G can bring advancements in generating high-quality medical images/reports. It can also accelerate remote patient monitoring, remote surgeries, and high-quality video conferencing for medical assistance.
It becomes tough for people in remote areas to access medical assistance and 5G can be a game-changer in bridging the gap by making healthcare more accessible to everyone. Supercomputing and blockchain?technologies can bring massive changes and enhance the way the healthcare industry functions.
Agriculture sector
Agriculture, the backbone of the Indian economy can experience a massive transformation with the implementation of 5G.It’s ability to connect numerous devices leads to precision agriculture techniques leveraging the information on soil moisture and weather conditions. Farmers can make decisions based on this data which eventually leads to better farming, improving crop yield and reduction in resource wastage.
Technology can transform agriculture in the following ways:
· 5G Farm machinery
· Drone spraying
· Weed and Crop monitoring
· Insect tracking
· Precision Agriculture
