Lately you surely heard about 5G<\/strong>, which we usually link to the telephony sector, but will actually affect lots of services like IoT<\/strong>. 5G is the next generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace 4G LTE. It\u2019s been estimated that more than 60% of Italian radio station cannot support 5G network meaning that building new structures will not be enough and we will need to increase the effectiveness of the ones we already have. Work will start from the second point, demanding huge investments and changes on the current network. The first consequence of the arrival of 5G will be the increasing difference of navigation power among people who live in cities well covered by the signal and those who are not: using new generation smartphones, which will support 5G, the difference between city centres and rural areas will become drastic.<\/p>\n Despite the huge commitment requested by this new technology, Italy is expected to welcome 5G in 2021. Internet of Things<\/strong>, expects to make devices of general use smart and connected. Having at one\u2019s disposal a much more faster network is an actual revolution: IoT<\/strong>\u2019s range of applications will be expanded using the reliability of a network wired on a mobile network. A little window is actually being opened for the generation that\u2019s always connected<\/strong> and we\u2019re at the gates of an era in which IoT, connection among devices and technological development will be terms we use daily.

\nBefore discovering how the Internet of Things<\/strong> will be influenced, here\u2019s where we at in Italy.<\/p>\nWhat is it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nIt will bring enormous changes in terms of service and speed: theoretically, the new network will be able to reach 20Gbps, in practice the actual average speed is around 1,4Gbps. It\u2019s still a huge increase in 4G performances. To give you an idea, you\u2019ll be able to watch a movie of 90 minutes in streaming with the same loading speed you watch a video that lasts a few hundreds of seconds on YouTube.
\n5G uses high-frequency radio waves, 60 times bigger that the ones we use today. This, however, some some setbacks in terms of coverage: the signal propagation will be easier to disperse and we\u2019ll need specific structures for its best use.<\/p>\nWhen?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nBig telephone companies have already divided the frequency blocks that will give signal to your phones and connection to your modem.<\/p>\nIoT<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nPC Cube<\/strong>, for example, takes advantage of IoT to help clients manage company fleets using intelligent sensors to give the company information useful for optimizing resources and reducing waste.<\/p>\n
\nIts power will cover the obsolescence of machines: through cloud computing<\/em> mechanisms performances will not entirely depend on the power of the device you\u2019re using and you\u2019ll be able to take advantage of the characteristics of the new mobile network to satisfy your needs without a last generation computer.<\/p>\n
\nFrom automotive to smart city, from taxi drones to robots, 5G is one of the starting points from which we can make some of those innovations we only got a taste of until now, a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
