What is 5G?
With connected devices using IOT and , we are on the cusp of technological revolution in very near future with a faster technology , Quoting GSMA“5G holds the promise of applications with high social and economic value, leading to a ‘hyperconnected society’ in which mobile will play an ever more important role in people’s lives”. 5G is a generational shift in term of evolution of mobile communication technologies. The MWC 2019 happening in Barcelona has connectivity as major them focusing on 5G with participant to bringing step closer to implementation.

5G is expected to be as reliable as a wireline network. To deliver on its promise of extreme mobile broadband and massive and ultra-reliable machine communications requires a level of reliability we have not seen in wireless communications. When self-driving cars or health care medical devices are transmitting real-time data on the network with millions of sensors working at the same time to enable decision making, reliability and transmission peed becomes a life-or-death matter. Such applications clearly require the 1 millisecond delay time provided in the 5G specification.
5G technology will expand business opportunities and business models through monitoring, tracking and automation capabilities on a large scale. From connected farms and agriculture to smart cities and building and mainly In agriculture society like Ours, the various sensors will be able to be implemented throughout farms allowing for crops to communicate moisture and fertilization needs. While utility companies will be able to monitor and report on energy usage thereby greatly improving the reliability and sustainability of energy production and distribution.
