Whitepaper: An introduction to 5G in the industrial domain
It is crucial for industrial players to build awareness of 5G and its potential applications within their organizations.
As a mobile technology designed for wireless data transmission, 5G offers significant improvements in reducing latency over long distances, enhancing reliability, increasing data transmission volumes, and the number of devices that can be handled at the same time. This presents opportunities to enhance existing Industrial IoT applications and enables new ones.
The key factors driving 5G adoption in the industrial domain include the exponential growth of connected IoT devices within factories and supply chains, as well as the rising demand for ultra-reliable, low-latency networks to support human-to-machine and machine-to-machine communication. These networks are also essential for emerging technologies built on IoT, such as collaborative robotics and AR/VR tools.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical role of 5G in industry. The need for remote work underscored the importance of fast, reliable connections and exposed the limitations of current mobile technologies in handling the large-scale data transmission demands of devices, whether for online meetings or remotely controlling of production equipment.
The purpose of this whitepaper is to address the growing interest and awareness around 5G from an industrial perspective. As 5G is being deployed worldwide, this paper aims to provide an overview of its key characteristics, use cases, and potential applications in the industrial sector, helping future users navigate and explore the topic.
