5g isn't just going to change your mobile internet speed. It's going to touch nearly everything around you. Right Sophia?
It will allow everything to be connected. I am getting excited just thinking about it.
Let's take some everyday scenarios. You leave work, get in your car, go home, eat dinner, take that shower and go to bed. Well, 5g is going to change all of that.
Let's start with the drive. Tell me how 5g is going to change that commute home and this bad boy.
This car is permanently surveying the road around and sending relevant bits of information up to the cloud
generating a true real-time map that in turn is pushed down to all the other cars.
Autonomous driving is not the capability of a car, is really about swarm intelligence and that's why 5g is so crucial.
The real magic of 5g is in the amount of data that can be transmitted through the increased capacity the increased bandwidth. That really enables a whole range of applications that currently aren't possible.
Why in the world would you need to have a data connected beehive, David?
Beehives as you know are valuable and as such they're in demand and so hive keepers need to protect them.
So they use asset trackers to essentially monitor the health of the hive.
Checking into the cloud once a day which is the industry metric for an asset tracker. This device will last 14 years.
So really the lesson here is 5g isn't just about speed. It is also about power. On one end of the spectrum using a ton of power. On the other end of the spectrum, using as little power as possible to get the longest life span possible.
5g is going to have a massive impact on people's lives. It'll happen over time as the technology is deployed and as use cases are developed but we're going to see a really big advance in the quality of life that 5g can deliver for individuals.
But all that isn't enough for some people with 5g rolling out others are already focused on 6g.
6g, really?
Well, yes. You could have smart surfaces with printed electronics in them, smart glasses. So you can have your device everywhere.
When do you think that 6g will actually roll out?
Standardization activities are expected to start in 2028 so a couple of years after that 2030.
Yes, so 2019 is the year of 5g, 2030 6g
See you then.
