Exhibit 1 2 . Case Study Samsung Electronics – Summary
The key lesson from this case study is to highlight the importance of local conditions , with the simplest change being spectrum frequency . As mmWave spectrum is still being considered for allocation in the rest of the world , there is a need to ensure 5G-enabled AR use cases are conducted in localised areas because of spectrum availability . This reinforces the view that AREA members should engage with local companies , especially local testbeds , to be involved in the start of this journey .
4 CONCLUSIONS
The combined results of survey analysis and assessment of 5G-based enterprise AR projects provided some relevant insights for the enterprise AR community . Those results were discussed during a follow up webinar with the AREA members . This section will summarise some of those insights and ideas .
4.1 LESSONS LEARNED The overall insights of the research can be encapsulated in the following 5 points :
1 . 5G was seen as a key enabler of digital transformation in enterprises and of the overall Industry 4.0 paradigm .
2 . However , 5G-enabled Industry 4.0 was in its early stage of development . There was time for a digital transformation strategy tuned also around 5G-AR .
3 . AR within Industry 4.0 was not a unique priority and / or standalone technology for use cases . AR was part of a wider technology paradigm for Industry 4.0 . The AR community should reflect on that , thinking at the convergence of AR with other Industry 4.0 enabling technologies .
4 . The community should continue the effort in educating enterprises in the value and the benefits that AR can bring within digital transformation strategies . There was an absolute need to empower and diffuse the culture of enterprise AR .
5 . There were some organisations outside the typical AR community that strongly believe in AR . Those should have become AR champions in enterprises .
