5G technology will power smart cities
5G technology—the next wave of wireless broadband connectivity—will be a critical resource for smart cities, providing enormous data capacity that can be quickly accessed from anywhere at anytime. A fully operational 5G network will be hundreds of times faster and more efficient than today’s 4G networks, providing more reliable data connections and more data security.
FUTURE USE OF 5G

Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications will form the backbone of new applications. The goal of 5G networks will be to increase reliability and reduce latency to less than 1 millisecond, which is far more rapid than the comparatively sluggish figure of 25 milliseconds—even in ideal conditions— for existing 4G technology. Accordingly, ultra-reliable connections could become instrumental for “mission critical” applications due to the effective elimination of any element of risk. Low-latency connections will lead to
the greater usage of self-driving cars, as well as the tactile internet, which will enable people to control objects remotely as never before. The tactile internet, for instance, could soon allow surgeons to perform operations from thousands of miles away in real-time.
