How 5G will improve IoT Solutions?


5G is set to bring a tremendous revolution in cooperation with IoT solutions due to its incredible network slicing ability and high internet speed. Having magnificent rapidity over the current network, 5G can help Quality Control with accurate data gathering to identify defects in just a span of time.

Moreover, some effective metrics such as low latency, wide mobility, extreme reliability for production, vehicle automation are only possible with a 5G network. It often facilitates cellular-based positioning systems to catch perfect signals via TRPs (Transmission and Reception points) deployed at various directions to get rid of the signal blockage.

5G and IoT play a dominant role in forming smart cities with improved connectivity and automation of services. No matter where you are, you can simply operate equipment like AC, fan, Television, Computer, etc. with just a click. All these are possible just because of IoT and 5G.

Here in this blog, we put light on various metrics of how 5G will improve IoT solutions.

5G impacts on IoT-connected business infrastructure


5G’s real impact will be delivering on the IoT-connected business infrastructure that we have been promised for decades.

First, 5G provides the bandwidth to broadly deploy IoT sensors that register and share data nearly instantaneously from any node on the network - from HVAC systems in the office to employee badges to home-office desks the company buys for remote employees.

Combined with AI for data processing and pattern matching, businesses can create a digital twin of the in-office and at-home workplace that provides a far more accurate model for understanding and optimizing employee and asset performance than anything we have today.”

- Andrea Oliveira from  Oliveira House PR

Transformed way of data collection, analyzation, and sharing


5G for IoT is a game-changer and will transform the way data is collected, analyzed, and shared forever. Here's how:

Blazing fast downloads: As technology progresses, the size of files increases with it leading to a slow-down in work due to the limitations of 4G. With 5G's 10 GigaBytes/Second download speeds, access to applications and downloads can be almost instantaneous. To put that into perspective, 4G currently delivers around 1 GigaByte/Second. That's 10 times slower than 5G!

Network slicing: With 5G, carriers can create more virtual networks with functionalities that are specifically designed for groups of people with common needs. This also makes it easier to offer and execute services and meet service-level agreements as these networks are specifically designed for certain IoT use cases.

Supply Chain: The Supply Chain of organizations requires extensive amounts of supervision especially when moving goods to and from the warehouses. IoT-enabled sensors will allow managers to receive detailed information down to the product level which will drastically improve shipment speeds and reduce potential errors. Perishable goods will now be monitored more accurately, ensuring that they're stored in optimal conditions while also monitoring their movement in real-time. 5G will allow organizations to have a completely transparent view of their supply chain.”

Improved Speed and Size of operation


“The development of 5G will improve on various factors affecting IoT in the world. The first thing that will be affected is speed. Every time new technology is developed, it is meant to improve speed and efficiency. 5G is not different, and the technology is intended to increase the speed of the internet and make the application of the internet in various fields faster. Some statistics provided indicate that the speed will be 100 times faster and reduce the chances of latency.

This will make IoT solutions to be more efficient and impactful to society due to the performance improvement. The other advantage is the size of the operation. If 5G is utilized, it will improve the size of operation the internet can be used. Larger facilities and organizations will be able to improve their efficiency and activities carried out due to the development of 5G. All these advantages mean that 5G will be efficient and applicable to developing solutions worldwide.

To make a city smart, one must make it run with a chain of networks, as the saying goes. If one wishes to build an ambitious, smart city for future habitation, the above concept holds truth. With the partnership of IoT app growth and 5G, fascinating tech cities are emerging.

IoT app solutions have become a much-desired technology for interconnecting all types of connected devices and establishing a solid ecosystem for smart cities. To meet expectations, 5G has jumped into the fray, boosting the chances of rapid smart city growth. 5G is expected to be 10 times faster than existing LTE networks, according to sources. With this boost in speed, IoT devices will be able to chat and exchange data more quickly than ever before.

Aside from the speed boost, 5G networks would be more reliable, resulting in more secure transmission. For any IoT, but particularly for connected devices like locks, video surveillance, and other security systems that rely on real-time alerts, having a secure and stable network is critical. Several problems in the IoT domain have been overcome thanks to the cooperation between 5G and IoT. Scalability, durability, and latency are all factors. Furthermore, with the provision of a smart home for improved living conditions, they would undoubtedly improve connectivity.”

- Alina Clark, Growth Manager and Co-Founder of  CocoDoc
 

IoT devices generate, send, and receive data with other devices and its software applications. Every day, more and more things are becoming smart by being connected to the internet. In fact, 13.8 billion IoT devices are expected to be connected this year, and in four years, that number will more than double to 30.9 billion. With the projected number of devices that will be connected to the internet, there is a need for increased speed and stable connection to transfer the large amount of data generated by IoT devices. 5G provides faster speed which will improve the performance of IoT devices by also creating more stable connections and reducing lag time.”

- Brianna Schmitz, Director at  wearecsg.com

Supports massive scale for IoT communications


“The number one thing I find fascinating about 5G with relation to IoT is its ability to support a massive scale for IoT communications. Currently, we rely on 4G, which can help just under a thousand devices per square mile. With 5G, however, this number increases a thousand-fold to a million devices for the same range. More communication devices powered by even higher speeds are what 5G guarantees for the IoT industry. 5G is 100 times faster than 4G in terms of speed and offers up to 25 times lower latency. This simply means if you and I are on the same IoT network, we get to communicate faster with lower lag times.

However, what I find most exciting is the prospect of network slicing over a 5G network. This feature means that several businesses can still personalize their network even when connected over the same network. If I prefer more devices connected to my virtual network and lower latency, I can simply do this without affecting the entire IoT network. The use of 5G also drops power consumption by up to 90% meaning longer battery life of up to 10 years for low-powered IoT devices.”

- Harriet Chan, Co-founder & Marketing Director at  CocoFinder

Improved IoT Solutions with increased spectrum


“5G will improve IoT Solutions due to its increased spectrum that is available to 5G. The overall bandwidth has increased which allows for higher amounts of IoT devices to connect. Ultra-reliability comes from its ability to provide real-time communication 5G has a theoretical latency of less than one millisecond as opposed to 20 to 40 milliseconds which is typical in current-generation Wi-Fi deployments. 5G could also serve deployments of fewer devices that need lots of bandwidth. 5G also has the ability to support significantly more devices in its coverage area, and with 5G, data-transfer speeds will increase significantly. There are reports that 5G will be 10 times faster than current LTE networks. These speeds will allow IoT devices to communicate and share data much faster than before.”

- Salinder Kohli, Lead developer at  Coffeeble

 

Stable connections and improved network reliability


“The Internet of Things is already on the rise, and we expect the number of connected devices to hit 3.2 billion by 2023. One of the most significant contributors to this success will be the 5G network- a network that looks to improve the performance and reliability of the connected devices.

First, 5G will significantly boost the data transfer speed, more than ten times faster than LTE networks. This will reduce lag and increase the overall rate at which IoT devices communicate and share data.

5G will also create more stable connections and improve network reliability. Reliability in connection is crucial for IoT, primarily for connected devices such as security cameras and systems that demand real-time updates.

5G’s ultra-reliability comes from its capacity to give desired quality of service. The theoretical latency of this technology is below one millisecond compared to 20 or 40, which is typical of WIFI deployments.”

- Caroline Lee, Co-Founder of  CocoSign
