Predictive maintenance

5G will enable sensors in equipment and infrastructure to communicate their status in real-time, so any problems can be fixed fast, saving time and costs.

Monitoring and asset tracking

5G delivers real time tracking and traceability of a product within a supply chain. IoT sensors attached to products (either inside or outside packaging) can provide more than just location data.

Automation and collaborative robotics

As 5G enables greater use of edge computing, businesses will be able to control robots and automated systems remotely from a central interface.

Immersive AR and VR

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality experiences with 5G will transform the way we train people (onsite and remotely), share and resolve complex tasks, and activities like shopping and travel.
