5G is game-changing technology that is going to have far-reaching impacts on how we work, live and play. This technology rolling out worldwide 2019 and it is now expected that by 20205 there will be 1.7 billion people connected via 5G. As it becomes more prevalent it will become the foundation – the last piece – in an “Industrial Revolution 4” that is going to change the very way we work.
In short, your business should be planning for this technology in order not to be left behind. Reliance Communications are the experts in helping customers take advantage of the unique opportunities that 5G provides.
What makes 5G so great?
5G is a much more robust technology than previous cellular networks. Not only does it deliver much faster download and upload speeds, but it offers a lower latency as well. Video and VoIP communication, as well as hosted managed services, like virtual PBXs, will benefit from these features. Additionally, 5G is also more flexible and efficient, and the mobility of 5G will allow businesses to truly enable work-from-anywhere environments.
5G helps create a robust communications environment
We’re still early on in the 5G cycle, but the technology is already proving to be incredible for businesses. As remote work becomes more common, 5G is helping those that work from home stay connected and productive. As noted, there is much lower latency when using 5G, so that makes conference calls work seamlessly even with members all across the globe. Due to the impact of COVID-19, 5G is already showing how handy it can be and is helping people in even rural environments work from home seamlessly.
5G is also uniquely suited to IoT and edge applications – where massive amounts of compute need to be done at the location of the work in real time, while also supported by cloud storage, processing and analytics. What this means is that 5G can enable AI and automation, and IT specialists will be able to streamline operations with these faster speeds and companies will be able to get more useful data that can be analyzed as well. Companies will be able to better tailor their work to customer needs and minimise any downtime as a result.
As 5G is expected to become the new standard, it will also be a huge boost to many industries. This includes manufacturing companies that will be able to improve their automation methods and revolutionise transportation as trains and self-driving cars are expected to take full advantage of it. It can also be used for augmented reality experiences inside businesses – really, the sky is the limit with this technology, and many of the ways that we’ll be using it haven’t even been invented yet.
