- 5G is poised to change everything from healthcare to sports to community safety.
- It supports the growth of AI, the Internet of Things, smart cities, and overall digital transformation.
- T-Mobile’s nationwide standalone 5G network will help power these efforts.
Tennis fans can experience what it’s like to have a top-ranked player’s serve coming directly at you. Heart patients have instant access to a cardiologist 1,000 miles away. Drivers are being warned to slow down to avoid colliding with a pedestrian on crutches trying to cross a corner.
You might be surprised at what these different scenarios have in common. That’s his 5G, the “fifth generation” of wireless network technology. It can offer significantly more bandwidth and faster data transfer than 4G networks, potentially up to 200 times faster in ideal conditions.
What 5G actually does is augment intelligence. 5G is the backbone that will enable the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, digital transformation, and other developments that will reshape the way we live and work. And imagine the possibilities.
everyone becomes an expert
Currently, about 20% of the global workforce relies on technology such as laptops and phones to do their jobs, said Parvin Mahajan, vice president of solutions engineering and commercialization at T-Mobile. Masu.
As the only provider of a nationwide standalone 5G network, T-Mobile is well-positioned to shake up that paradigm in the United States. This also sets the stage for a surge in connected workers whose daily work will be enhanced by intelligent technologies that 5G can support.
Field service technicians responding to issues in the field can use augmented reality, a computer-generated interactive experience, to connect with experts in their home offices, instead of requiring multiple trips in the past. You will be able to solve problems. Mahajan calls this a “game changer.” Because even a modestly trained technician can dramatically improve his problem-solving abilities when using smart devices.
“One of the challenges in the United States, and in many developing countries where health care costs are rising, is the lack of qualified physicians and specialists to meet the full range of patient needs,” Mahajan said. . “Up until now, we’ve had Wi-Fi networks and we’ve had 4G networks, but now we’re finally seeing 5G networks, which can potentially improve latency and allow us to connect hundreds of miles, thousands of miles away. The home can now treat these patients.”
At Boston Children’s Hospital, 5G will allow medical expertise to extend beyond the hospital walls and into patients’ homes.
Heather Nelson, senior vice president and chief information officer at Boston Children’s Hospital, said the hospital attracts patients from all over the world. The reliability and security of T-Mobile’s 5G network means that “medical team members, nurses, and providers can trust this technology and make quick decisions when they receive alarms and alerts from patients.” That means knowing your home monitor. ”
Applications in all industries
T-Mobile’s 5G technology can be applied to any industry, and the number of use cases continues to grow.
For example, the City of Bellevue, Washington, is using the T-Mobile 5G network, AI, cloud edge computing systems, and high-resolution 3D cameras to create a proactive safety net as part of its Vision Zero Traffic Safety Plan. The aim is to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries on urban roads by 2030. If a pedestrian is having trouble crossing an intersection before the signal changes, the network alerts the signal operator. Drivers are notified about pedestrians via their mobile phone or on-board systems long before the pedestrian enters their line of sight.
Consider Infosys and its cutting-edge digital platform conceptualized to reimagine the game of tennis. Using virtual reality technology, fans were able to place themselves in the center of Rod Laver Arena during the Australian Open and experience the spin and speed of top players’ forehand shots. Thousands of coaches and players have used this technology to analyze every game against every opponent, allowing them to go into their next game smarter and better prepared. His 11-year partnership with T-Mobile and Infosys, which provides numerous technology solutions, will enable similar use cases to be applied to other industries and continue to revolutionize the way businesses operate.
“The intelligence side of 5G is very interesting,” said Will Townsend, vice president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. “Enabling 5G with edge computing allows us to do some very powerful things by putting computing power closer to data creation.”
The intelligence that 5G provides allows businesses and consumers to stay ahead of evolving problems. For example, his sensor-enabled IoT devices can monitor equipment in factories, generate real-time data over 5G networks, and predict when equipment will require maintenance to prevent costly downtime. .
By leveraging 5G, companies will be able to build a “digital twin” of their supply chain and use this digital representation to simulate different scenarios and determine the most efficient operations.
5G is poised to revolutionize the way we live, work, and play in ways we probably can’t imagine yet. And we do it by leveraging advances in technology to make everyone and everything smarter.
