The Business Benefit of 5G

Cellular wireless technology has grown exponentially in recent years. With it, processes that were not possible before can now be carried out and those that already existed can be streamlined.

One of its virtues is easy implementation that it has with the business and industrial sector. Thanks to cellular networks, the processes IoT are simpler and cheap than ever.

It is no longer necessary to invest time and large sums of money in infrastructure, now with a few devices you can provide a network WAN to your company and maintain interconnection with your devices through telemetry.

How does 5G improve over LTE?

The new technology not only improves in terms of speed, which is 50 times faster, it also has 1000 times more capacity than LTE and 10 times less latency. This translates into faster connectivity and speed than ever before.

Why might it be better for my business to have a cellular connection?

One of the best reasons to implement this technology is due to its greater reach, which allows reach remote places more easily than other networks.

For him industrial field It is an excellent solution since it integrates perfectly with the sensors IoT. It is possible to interconnect a large number of them to monitor, manage and automate your processes in a simple way, even increasing the manufacturing environment.

Given its nature, its integration with the cloud is innate, which allows you to connect securely even if you are not at your company thanks to SD-WAN. So either 4G/LTE, 5G, even 3G, is a great option for your company if you are interested in taking the leap into the Internet of Things.

Can cellular connection coexist with WiFi connection?

Sure, in fact they complement each other in a very good way. Even though they manage the network differently, they can integrate and create a network of very high availability. With this you avoid unexpected disconnections, line stoppages and sanctions due to them.

You can also implement a cellular connection on board vehicles to provide WiFi internet to users, integrate geolocation and monitor and manage driving processes.

Conclusion

There is still one long road, especially in Mexico, to exploit all the potential that 5G has for us, but the journey has already begun and there is no turning back.

We are getting closer to having smart cities, creating simpler processes and, why not, imagining public safety applications thanks to the low latency that has been achieved. Which translates into commercial benefits, but above all consumer benefits.

He 4G/LTE It is still valid and has many years ahead of it, but it is exciting to think about the entire range of possibilities that we will soon have at our fingertips.
