Approximately 100 Participants/Students worldwide attended the webinar on 5g & IOT .
Students from Tawi Group of Colleges also attended this webinar .The webinar was given by Mr. Kapil Bhutani, Technical Director Telcocrats Technologies and a Guest Speaker Mr. Kunal from Saudi Arabia Having 20 years of experience, Delivered knowledge in 50+ Countries & a Writer Telecommunication Books.
Mr. Bhutani enlightens students about:
- Road Map of 5G.
- What is 5G ?
- What is New in 5G ?
- How it is different from other technologies ?
- What are the Applications of 5G and IOT ?
Unlike the upgrades of cellular standards 2G in the early 1990s, 3G around the millennium and 4G in 2010, 5G standards will deliver not just faster phone and computer data but also help connect up cars, machines, cargo and crop equipment
The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. Thanks to the arrival of super-cheap computer chips and the ubiquity of wireless networks, it’s possible to turn anything, from something as small as a pill to something as big as an aeroplane, into a part of the IoT
5G-enabled IoT is expected not only to enable technological growth; it is also projected to help support 22 million jobs around the world. This job growth is expected to come from the digitization of transportation, agriculture, manufacturing and other physical industries. Consider also construction sites, mines, oil derricks and freighter fleets: these industries would benefit greatly from ultra-fast data transmission to the time-sensitive nature of their output.
5G has the potential to drive advancements in smart machinery as well as smart manufacturing. Thinking even bigger, 5G could enable IoT to run virtually instantaneous traffic analyses, improve security and public safety and possibly enable remote surgery.
The 5G network will especially help establish the Internet of Things as an indispensable part of our world, by laying the foundation for unleashing its full potential. Gartner speculates 20.4 billion connected devices in the world by 2020, a number that will continue to rise. Current wireless infrastructure just does not have the capacity to accommodate so many devices and ensure exchange of information without minor lags.
5G promises a more IoT friendly ecosystem, with vast improvements over the current capabilities of the 4G. Not only will it allow extremely fast data speeds, such as to render 4G as sluggish, 5G also means latency of a mere 1 millisecond. It means, one can download an HD film in seconds. Compared to the 4G LTE, it will be able to embrace up to 100 times more connected devices per unit area.
It’s a long way to when 5G becomes mainstream, but businesses need to start now with developing and reimagining services and products to leverage 5G’s superior capabilities. Here is a look at a few industries where 5G and IoT together can bring about disruptions:
Self-driving cars: Sensors on self-driving cars generate a large amount of data, measuring temperature, traffic conditions, weather, GPS location etc. Producing and assimilating such quantity of data eats up a lot of energy. Such cars are also heavily reliant on real time transmission of information to provide optimum services. However, with high speed connectivity and low latency, it will become possible for these intelligent cars to constantly collect all sorts of data, including time-critical data, on which algorithms can work on to autonomously keep track of the working condition of the car and improve future designs.
Healthcare: The medical field will also see improvements in their services as all sorts of medical devices become IoT enabled. Rural areas and other similar remote locations without proper healthcare facilities will hugely benefit from IoT connectivity. With such low latency, world class healthcare services like surgeries performed remotely become a possibility.
The term IoT is mainly used for devices that wouldn’t usually be generally expected to have an internet connection, and that can communicate with the network independently of human action. For this reason, a PC isn’t generally considered an IoT device and neither is a smartphone — even though the latter is crammed with sensors.
