Foreword
We are at the beginning of an era of profound transformation and human progress – a new industrial revolution . This “ Automation of Everything ” era will be brought about by digital interfaces , data analysis and control of the physical world through networks employing the Nokia Bell Labs Future X1 architecture – networks to support the digitization and connection of everything and everyone with the goal of automating much of life .
The interconnection of robots , machines , drones , sensors , processing platforms and people through Future X networks will provide transformative tools for the automation and optimization of factories and warehouses , ports , electric grids , transportation networks , food , healthcare , construction , logistics and supply chain , emergency response , mining , and other physical industries . To date , the level of automation has been modest at best . Automating these physical industries – industries that account for 70 percent of the US Gross Domestic Product , for example – has the potential to drive significant increases in the world ’ s economic productivity . 2
Realizing the potential of this next industrial revolution will require billions of wirelessly connected endpoints for high fidelity physical-to-digital conversion , millisecond response times to tightly control and coordinate machines and robots , and intelligent analysis to optimize real-time decisions – tasks beyond the reach of current networks .
Increased levels of automation are already being achieved through the use of 4G advanced wireless access technologies . The untethering of sensors and actuators in industrial environments through the lowlatency , high-bandwidth , high-reliability , and massive scale provided by 5G wireless access will complete this evolution , providing an unprecedented ability to digitize , analyze , comprehend and manipulate the physical world at a scale never previously thought possible . These new capabilities will enable us to create digital models of the physical world with ever higher levels of fidelity , further enhancing our ability
